For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "Been on Uptravi since 2019, starting dose was 200 mcg X2 seemed to help, have increased dose slowly to 1000 mcg X 2 for the past 5 months. Yes, have had some side effects: itchy, red rash, jaw pain. I am on oxygen for the past 3 years, and I am a sassy 83-year-old. I find if I titrate up for a couple of weeks at 200 mcg only at night and then when my body seems to handle (2 to 3 weeks) it, I move to 200 mcg during the day (2 to 3 weeks)! Seems the doctors rush to get us too 1600 X 2. Sorry for all going through the pains and illness of pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary fibrosis."

For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "I'm on my 2nd week of the titration. I do have some headaches, my skin is itchy, and I have a weird heartburn sensation. However, I will continue, I hope the positive will outweigh the negative. It was hard to get this pill, so I really want to try and make it through this titration. My other meds are Letairis and sildenafil, which I love."
