Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension medications, costs, and savings programs.

What is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)?

How much do PAH medications cost?
PAH drugs are among the most expensive in the US. Uptravi and Opsumit range from $15,000-$25,000/month. Prostacyclin infusions can reach $100,000+/month. All manufacturers have comprehensive patient assistance programs.
Does Janssen have patient assistance for Uptravi and Opsumit?
Yes. Janssen CarePath provides copay assistance for commercially insured patients and free drug for qualifying uninsured patients. Visit janssenprescriptionassistance.com.
What is combination therapy for PAH?
Current guidelines recommend initiating combination therapy targeting multiple pathways simultaneously in newly diagnosed patients. Uptravi + Opsumit is a common oral combination.
Is PAH curable?
There is no cure for PAH, but treatments dramatically improve symptoms and survival. Lung transplantation can be curative but is reserved for patients who fail maximal medical therapy.
