What is Ventavis?

Ventavis is a man-made form of prostacyclin.¹ Prostacyclin is a chemical that occurs naturally in your body. When there is enough prostacyclin, it helps keep arteries in the lungs open. In patients with PAH, there is too little prostacyclin. The man-made form (Ventavis) can be used to replace some of the natural prostacyclin that is missing in patients with PAH. Ventavis is approved for the treatment of NYHA Class III or IV pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

How is Ventavis taken?

Ventavis is inhaled through a special device called the I-neb AAD System, which is compact, portable, and lightweight—so you can take your medication almost anywhere at any time. Inhaling Ventavis helps it get right to the lungs—the site of disease.¹
