Talking tips for your next appointment

At your next appointment, let your healthcare team know how you’re doing. Are there certain things that you would like to do, but can’t? How are you managing activities that have become more challenging?

•	How does Orenitram work?
•	How can Orenitram help me?
•	Is Orenitram an option for me? Why? Why not?

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Do not change your dose or suddenly stop taking Orenitram without first talking to your healthcare provider. Stopping Orenitram suddenly may cause worsening of your PAH symptoms. If you miss two or more doses of Orenitram, call your healthcare provider. If you take too much Orenitram, call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.

Orenitram can cause serious side effects, including an increased risk of bleeding. This risk could be increased if you are taking blood thinners such as warfarin.
