is PENEGRA a right tablet to reduce RVSP

Hi Doctor,

My cousin is suffering from 1.6cm hole in heart(ASD) with 80mm hg RVSP. Cardiologist that we have consulted has suggested the patient to take PENEGRA 25MG to reduce RVSP. However, when we googled this tablet over net, we found the purpose of using this tablet doesnt suit for a heart disease.

Is this the right tablet to reduce RVSP. Kindly suggest.

Awaiting for your response.

Regards,
Pradip

Hey Pradip!

Though not the most common use of the drug; the medication is very effective and best suited in treating conditions such as this by reducing the pulmonary pressure. Have faith in your doctor.
Hope this information is helpful

Take care!
