Members shared their experiences with Letaris (ambrisentan) for pulmonary hypertension, with many reporting that persistent nasal congestion and stuffiness is a very common side effect, though the medication has been effective for some members for years, even up to a decade. Several members offered practical relief strategies including saline nasal sprays (especially Arm & Hammer Nighttime with Eucalyptus), Flonase, and Breathe Right nasal strips, with one member proudly wearing the strips in public because breathing comfortably matters more than appearance. A recurring theme was learning to accept the annoying sinus issues as an unavoidable trade-off when the medication is working well to manage pulmonary pressures, though one member had to stop due to severe abdominal pain, reminding others that side effects can vary widely.

I've been on Ambrisentan for 2 years now. I take it and Tadalafil. The combination has lowered my pulmonary pressure from 36 to 6, yes 6! The only side effect I experience from Ambrisentan is nasal stuffiness which I manage with normal nasal flushes and Flonase.

I’m on ambresentan and I usually have that stuffy nose. I also use nasal saline. It works for me and it has improved my breathing. Good luck 👍

I was on it at the start. I had side effects with the stuffy and breathing. My doctor replaced it. Good luck it works well for you.

Started Letaris. Third day I was experiencing right upper abdominal pain. Had to stop it. Not sure what else I can try st this point. Will make appointment at some time with pulmonary dr. My husband is in the hospital so every thing else is kind of on hold. Thanks all for your input. I did find Kris2 post about the breathing strips very helpful. If you haven’t tried them, give them a shot. It helped me.
