Starting a new medication can feel both hopeful and nerve-wracking — totally understandable! Tyvaso (treprostinil) was actually the first FDA-approved inhaled treatment specifically for PH associated with ILD, which is a big deal for people in your situation.
Like most PH medications, Tyvaso can come with some side effects. Here are the most commonly reported ones:
- Cough (very common with inhaled forms)
- Upset stomach or nausea
- Headaches
- Stuffy nose or nosebleeds
- Swelling in the hands or feet
- Flushing (a warm feeling)
- Dizziness or light-headedness
The good news is that many people find side effects manageable, especially as their body adjusts over time. It's really helpful to keep a journal of any symptoms you notice after starting Tyvaso — including when they happen and what you were doing. This is something myPHteam members have found useful when talking to their doctors.
Always let your care team know if side effects feel unbearable. They may be able to adjust your dosage or offer other support. You're not in this alone! 💙
