less than two yrs. ago i thought i was having repeated asthma attacks with trips to the emergency room. after waiting two months to see a local pulmonologist, i finally had a consult with him. he didn't believe it was asthma. he sent me for breathing function tests and a heart catherization. i was shocked to learn the news at my next consult and present with my daughter that i had pulmonary arterial hypertension disease...a mild case. completely shocked. never smoked. he gave me information on adcirca...i had high hopes. after pre-authorization from my insurance co. i was approved. i began taking it immediately as it was dispensed from a specialty pharmacy. i had every side effect there was. i didn't give up. eventually they all subsided. i did lose my beautiful eyelashes, which was not one of them. i wear false ones now...which i put on quicker than i did mascara. i am a 58 yr. old female...and enjoying live. until i got in to see the pulmonlogist, i was on a nebulizer @home for three months and really homebound. my dr. and this medicine changed my life! maybe it will do the same for others!

This drug is pretty expensive. But, once the insurance started working with me. I was able to afford it. The only really bad side effect for me was heartburn. It didn't matter what I ate. I could have even drank water, and it would cause it. The doctor told me to take Zantac 150mg up to 2 times a day. One in the morning and one at night.
