Important Safety Information about Ventavis

Because it lowers your blood pressure, Ventavis may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. With Ventavis, the most common side effects are reddening of the face caused by dilation of blood vessels (flushing), increased cough, low blood pressure (hypotension), headaches, nausea, spasm of the jaw muscles that causes trouble opening your mouth, and fainting (syncope).¹

Other serious adverse events reported with the use of Ventavis include congestive heart failure, chest pain, supraventricular tachycardia, dyspnea, peripheral edema, and kidney failure. Before you start taking Ventavis, talk to your doctor to make sure you understand the side effects you might get.¹

Does everyone get all of these side effects?

No, but many people notice one or more of them.

What should I do if I notice side effects?

Talk to your healthcare team for further medical direction regarding side effects. It’s especially important to let your healthcare team know immediately if:

• You gain several pounds of weight within a day or two, or notice other signs of water retention
• You have chest pain

These can be signs of a serious problem that you should promptly bring to the attention of your healthcare team or doctor.
