Product introduction

Pulmofree 10mg Injection is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. It decreases high pressure in the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs (the pulmonary arteries). This way it reduces the strain on the heart and improves blood flow, lowering blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.

Pulmofree 10mg Injection is used in the treatment of mild to moderate inability to get erection of the penis (erectile dysfunction)

Benefits of Pulmofree Injection

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. Pulmofree 10mg Injection 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. By easing the workload on the heart and enhancing circulation, Pulmofree 10mg Injection can improve exercise capacity, reduce symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with PAH.
