1. What Opsumit is and what it is used for
Opsumit tablets contain macitentan, which belongs to a class of medicines known as endothelin receptor antagonists.
Opsumit is used in adults for the long-term treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH):
- in adults in WHO functional class II or III
- in children under 18 years of age and weighing at least 40 kg in WHO functional class II or III.
It may be used alone or in combination with other medicines for the treatment of the disease.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is characterized by high blood pressure in the blood vessels (the pulmonary arteries) that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. In people with pulmonary arterial hypertension, these arteries narrow, making it harder for the heart to pump blood through them. This leads to fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty breathing.
Opsumit widens the pulmonary arteries, making it easier for the heart to pump blood through them. This reduces blood pressure in the pulmonary circulation, relieves symptoms, and improves the course of the disease.
2. What you should know before taking Opsumit
Do not take Opsumit
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to macitentan, soy, or any of the other ingredients of Opsumit (listed in section 6);
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or could become pregnant because you are not using an effective method of contraception. See section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”;
- if you are breastfeeding. See section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”;
- if you have liver disease or have very high levels of liver enzymes in your blood. Talk to your doctor, who will decide whether this medicine is suitable for you.
In any of these cases, inform your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Opsumit.
You will need to have blood tests as directed by your doctor
Your doctor will prescribe blood tests before starting treatment with Opsumit and during treatment to check:
- whether you have anaemia (reduced number of red blood cells)
- whether your liver is functioning properly
If you have anaemia (reduced number of red blood cells), the following symptoms may occur:
- dizziness
- tiredness/feeling unwell/weakness
- increased heart rate, palpitations
- paleness
If you notice any of these signs, talk to your doctor.
The following symptoms may indicate that your liver is not working properly:
- nausea
- vomiting
- fever
- stomach (abdominal) pain
- yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice)
- dark-coloured urine
- skin itching
- unusual tiredness or weakness (lethargy or fatigue)
- flu-like symptoms (joint and muscle pain with fever)
If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
If you have kidney problems, inform your doctor before using Opsumit. Macitentan may cause a reduction in blood pressure and lower haemoglobin levels in patients with kidney problems.
In patients with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (obstruction of the pulmonary veins), treatment with medicines for pulmonary arterial hypertension, including Opsumit, may lead to pulmonary oedema. If you develop signs of pulmonary oedema while taking Opsumit, such as a sudden and significant worsening of breathlessness and reduced oxygen levels, contact your doctor immediately.
Your doctor may carry out further tests to determine the most appropriate treatment regimen for you.
