pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) medication

Posted by krc @krc, Jun 4, 2023

Is anyone taking the PAH medication Orenitram?

I've been prescribed this drug, but have not started taking it yet, and am interested in personal experiences concerning benefits and side effects taking this drug.

Thank you.

I have PAH and am on Tadalafil and Opsumit. I'm not having real issues with either. It took several weeks for my body to adjust. These medications are often considered the treatment of choice for PAH. I have no experience with Orenitram.

bevjg thanks for the reply. Do you mind me asking if your symptoms improved after taking the medications?

I have just been on medication for a month. It is really too soon to see a noticeable improvement. They said Opsumit may take up to 3 months, Tadalafil much sooner. The thing I'm pleased about are no real side effects with either.
