Anyone been prescribed Ohtuvayre (new med)? Your experience?

Verona Pharmacy has just placed on the market a new treatment option for patients with COPD. The name of the drug is Ohtuvayre - pronounced O 2 vayre. It focuses on PDE 3 & 4 to help reduce secretions with patients with not only emphysema but with a over-lying bronchitis as well. It is administered via jet nebulizer twice a day.
Just wondered if anyone has started using it and whether they found it to be helpful.

I have used it for 2 months now but am not seeing much for results. We (my husband and I) decided I'd stay on it for 4-6 months to see if that changes. If not, I am stopping as it is so expensive.
@kndaustin71 I have been on ohtuyare for several weeks now. Right away I felt like I could breath easier . I even called my lung doctor and told him how great I thought it was working. Then I had a little trip and I do not like going away from home over night because of the work to get all my medical stuff together and fear I will forget something. The morning I was leaving I woke up and could hardly breathe. I had extra breathing problems all the time I was gone. Was it my nerves or the medicine? I am doing better now and it’s been a couple of weeks. I think the new medicine is helping but did it cause the panic or what ever happened? I do not want to experience that again. It was rough but also embarrassing.

Hello -- I have been using Ohtuvayre since August 12, 24 and have found it to be great. I have doubled my time on the treadmill which to me was amazing. It cut down my shortness of breath considerably and took about 2 months for that to happen. Currently delighted going on month #5
