Product Details

Zovanta 40mg Injection is primarily designed to manage Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) by dilating the blood vessels in the lungs, which improves blood flow and reduces pressure. This injection contains epoprostenol, a synthetic form of prostacyclin, which works by relaxing pulmonary and systemic arterial vascular beds, thereby lowering blood pressure in the lungs and enhancing exercise tolerance.

Purposes

The Zovanta 40mg Injection is used mainly for treating Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). It may also be prescribed for other conditions where vasodilation is beneficial, though its primary indication remains PAH management.
