How Macikad Tablet works

Macikad 10mg Tablet is an endothelin receptor blocker. It blocks the action of endothelin (a natural substance) that causes blood vessels to narrow (constrict). This narrowing increases the pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs. Macikad 10mg Tablet helps relax these blood vessels and increases the supply of blood to the lungs.
