Adcirca

Adcirca relaxes the muscles around the lungs’ blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces pressure in the lungs. It is not known exactly how Adcirca works to improve exercise capacity, but it is thought to increase the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to tissues.

Adverse effects associated with Adcirca use include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, and back pain.
