How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Ambrisentan). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent autocrine and paracrine peptide.

Two receptor subtypes, ET A and ET B, mediate the effects of ET-1 in the vascular smooth muscle and endothelium.
