For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "My wife has pulmonary arterial hypertension along with COPD and lung cancer. The results of my wife using Tyvaso were truly remarkable. She showed improvements in a very short time frame. She has progressed to 9 puffs 4 times a day. She has had very light side effects, i.e., sore throat and mild cough during treatments. The sore throats have diminished drastically when rinsing and gargling with warm tap water between puffs and after treatments. The coughing is mild and only presents during treatment. The positive results were noticeable as early as 6 weeks and have been amazing. She looks and feels better than she has in a year. Her stamina has increased by approximately 25%. Tyvaso has given our family hope and the strength to fight her other major health problems! Thank you!"

For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "I have been taking Tyvaso for approximately 6 months now and haven't had any adverse effects. There are side effects of the medicine, of course, which include cough, sore throat, hoarseness, and occasional headaches and muscle ache, but overall it is worth it for me."

For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "I have PAH in the later stages, this medicine has improved my breathing with the other medicines I am taking. My 6-minute walk test improved also. The only problem is the sore throat from coughing after using it."

For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension "Been on Tyvaso for 3 years. It has improved my PH significantly, 10 to 12 puffs a sitting. Always made me cough, but recently the cough has gotten worse. Not going to stop, just take fewer puffs."
