Your YUTREPIA dose can be changed to meet your treatment goals
Everybody is different. The right dose for one person may not be the right dose for another. Once you start YUTREPIA, your healthcare team will work with you to find the dose that meets your treatment goals.
Two and through per capsule:
YUTREPIA is taken in just 2 breaths per capsule, 3-5 times a day.
YUTREPIA may make it easy for your doctor to find the dose that meets your needs
YUTREPIA is available in 4 dose strengths
1 Yellow
(26.5 mcg)
1 Green
(53 mcg)
1 Blue
(79.5 mcg)
1 Purple
(106 mcg)
YUTREPIA should be taken 3 to 5 times per day as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your dose, you will need to take 1 or 2 capsules. If your prescribed dose is more than 106 mcg, you will need to inhale 2 YUTREPIA capsules.
Each capsule is inhaled in 2 breaths. Do not swallow YUTREPIA capsules.
If a scheduled dose is missed, resume therapy as soon as possible at the usual dose.

Starting YUTREPIA at a dose that's appropriate for your needs
- If you have not received prostacyclin therapy before, your doctor will start you at a low dose to see how you respond to this type of treatment
- If you are transitioning from TYVASO®, your doctor will start you at a dose that gives you a comparable amount of medicine to what you currently take
Changing your dose to find the one that's right for you
Your first dose may just be a starting point. Your doctor will decide to change your dose over time (known as “titration”) to find the dose that suits your needs (also known as your “target dose”).
