Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 , Tracleer has been around for 7 or 8 years now. It's a drug to treat pulmonary hypertension. I would have hoped that your doctor would have given you more information about the drug when he prescribed it. It is not something that is typically in stock at the average pharmcy and oftentimes there is a different process to go through with the insurance company to obtain payment for the drug. This is all stuff that your doctor should have made you aware of. Also be certain that you were speaking to the pharmacist and not to a pharmacy tech about this drug. An RPh who doesn't know anything about Tracleer should not be dispensing meds in my opinion. All that aside Tracleer can be a very effective drug in treating pulmonary hypertension. Good luck with it! Beth in North Carolina Moderator Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 Dermatomyositis 11/08 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
