How long will I be on Ventavis?
PAH is a chronic disease, and the medicines that treat PAH are meant to be taken every day for the long term. Talk with your doctors about how Ventavis fits into their treatment plan for you. Until theres a cure, taking the treatment prescribed by your doctor is an important way to help you manage your disease. In clinical studies, Ventavis has been shown to help NYHA Class III and IV PAH patients improve PAH symptoms (functional class), walk farther in a timed test, and decrease the worsening of PAH. Every person responds differently to therapy, so its important to let your doctor know how you feel when you visit him/her. Keep in mind that with a chronic disease like PAH, not getting worse is considered an important treatment goal.
