Drug Combo Relieves Symptoms in Pulmonary Hypertension
CLAMART, France, Oct. 20 -- Combining sildenafil (Revatio) and epoprostenol (Flolan) significantly improved exercise capacity in some patients with pulmonary hypertension, researchers said here.
The combination of drugs also improved hemodynamic measures and slowed the time to clinical worsening, compared with placebo, according to Gérald Simonneau M.D., of the Hôpital Antoine Béclère, and colleagues.
