BENEFITS OF ASSURANS TABLET
In Treatment of Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can cause shortness of breath, tiredness, dizziness, chest pain and swelling in your ankles and legs. It is caused by thickening of walls of the arteries that supply your lungs making it hard for blood to get through.
 
Assurans Tablet relaxes and widens blood vessels in the lungs. This helps reduce the strain on the heart and improves blood flow, leading to lowered blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
