Thelin,  also known as sitaxentan, has been recalled worldwide as it has been linked to potentially life-threatening liver damage in a very small number of cases. It is used to treat  pulmonary hypertension, an incurable condition. All trials of the medicine have been halted.  If you are taking Thelin or participating in studies of the drug, please continue to use it until you consult your prescribing specialist so you can be transferred to another therapy. Do not stop the medicine suddenly.  

If you have any questions please contact your specialist.
