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

Posted by kdalda75 @kndaustin71, Oct 18, 2024

Has anyone been prescribed the new COPD medication by their treatment team....Ohtuvayre? Just wondering if it now active, how it is effecting patients and how well it does/doesn't work

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Support Group.

My pulmonologist prescribed this a couple of months ago. I haven’t started it since I have no cough or phlegm. Not sure if I need it on top of the nebulizer?

No, Dupixent is used for about 7-9 different co-morbidities!

@nanat24 It sounds like you do not see a pulmonologist, but rely on family doc. You really must see a pulmonologist to clear up everything you are dealing with. And yes I did have phlegm before I started Ohtuvayre and now less often and much less coughing to get it up. Take care and see a pulmo.

@charlestall41 I am the opposite in that I now cough up more phlegm now that I am on Ohtuyare. I thought it opens up our breathing track so we get more oxygen and can get rid of more phlegm. My lung doctor said that was a good thing for me. We are all different.

I’ve been using for a couple months but haven’t really noticed a difference!

I take Trelegy Ellipta and it helps. I have Ohtuvayre and will try it. Its so expensive (as is everything!) that I don't think it's sustainable on my budget.

@bigbromurphy, you're quite right that Verona Pharma has an assistance program to help pateints with the cost of Ohtuvayre (ensifentrine). It is called Verona Pathway Plus https://ohtuvayre.com/cost-assistance/

@hellopam, how is Ohtuvayre (ensifentrine) working for you?
