@tjphillipp i’ve heard 3 months ?
@sexy17 how did they tell you to use besides the instructions of 2 x a day? I was on 3 months and I think it made my breathing worse, but?

I used it as directed, morning and evening. At first I had no change, but about three weeks into it, I started having more shortness of breath and fatigue. I read on the Mayo Clinic support site that some others had also had negative reactions, but I continued taking it for several more weeks. I spoke with the company pharmacy department when I discontinued it. I will be interested to see how the data comes after the med has been on the market for another year or so. Other than the Ohtuvayre I'd been having no negative effects of my treatment or meds for the past four years, and after I was off the Ohtuvayre, my status returned to "normal" for my conditions.
