Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Opsumit, also known by its generic name Macitentan, is an endothelin receptor antagonist that serves as a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group I). By blocking the action of endothelin, a substance in the walls of blood vessels that causes them to narrow, Opsumit helps to relax and widen these vessels. Classified as a long-term treatment option, the drug aims to slow down the progression of PAH and can improve the ability to exercise.
When taking Opsumit, it's important to follow a healthcare provider’s instructions. The usual dosage is 10 mg once daily and can be taken with or without food. When consuming this medication, be aware that higher doses than 10 mg have not been studied extensively in individuals with PAH and are generally not recommended. Always swallow tablets whole, avoiding crushing or splitting them, as this could affect how the drug works.
Opsumit tablets contain the active ingredient Macitentan alongside several inactive ingredients that ensure the tablet's stability and promote its absorption. These inactive ingredients may include lactose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polysorbate 80, povidone, and sodium starch glycolate type A.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
Side effects are possible while taking Opsumit. Common Opsumit side effects may include stuffy nose or sore throat, bronchitis, headaches, flu symptoms, and urinary tract infections. More severe side effects linked to Opsumit include the risk of serious birth defects, liver problems (with symptoms like nausea, yellowing of the skin or eyes, and dark urine), fluid retention (seen as unexpected weight gain or swelling in ankles or legs), anemia, and reduced sperm counts in men. Regular check-ups and communication with a healthcare provider are recommended for managing the risk of side effects.
