What does it do?

Riociguat is a drug that works by dilating blood vessels and is primarily used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. This component acts on vascular smooth muscle to reduce blood pressure.

Riociguat activates enzymes in the body that dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow. As a result, the pressure in the pulmonary artery decreases, and systemic blood pressure is also regulated.
