I've been on Flolan (Epoprostenol) 0.5mg Injection for my pulmonary hypertension for about 6 months now. It's been a game-changer for my energy levels and breathing, but it's not without its challenges. The continuous IV can be a hassle, and the side effects can be tough to deal with. I've experienced some of the more common ones like headache, flushing, and jaw pain, but nothing too severe so far. I'm just grateful that it's helping my heart do its job better. Wanted to start this thread to share my experience and hear from others who might be on this medication. What's your experience been like? Any tips for managing side effects or dealing with the IV? Let's help each other out!
