The cost for ambrisentan 5 mg oral tablet without insurance is around $6,198.00 for a supply of 30 tablets.
The drug ambrisentan is used for treatment of symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is high blood pressure in the main artery that carries blood from the right side of your heart "your ventricle" to your lungs.
Ambrisentan helps to improve your ability to exercise and also slow down the worsening of the pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Ambrisentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist and prevents endogenous endothelin peptide from constricting the muscles in blood vessels, allowing them to relax and permit a reduction in blood pressure.
Ambrisentan 5 mg is not a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
The drug ambrisentan is given by mouth as a tablet once a day.
Ambrisentan does not work immediately so it can take a month or two before you notice any improvement in your symptoms.
Ambrisentan is also very expensive, so if only half a tablet is required per dose, the remaining half tablet should be saved for the next dose.
