UTHR
INVA
Tyvaso received FDA approval in 2021 for the additional indication of PH-ILD and FDA approval in 2022 for Tyvaso DPI, which further expands Tyvaso's patient reach.
Tyvaso is administered through oral inhalation, and its unique drug/device combination patent means generic companies will need to gain FDA approval for both the inhaler and the generic drug, which complicates bringing generics to market.
Patients on Remodulin are typically the sickest and very sensitive to dose changes, so physicians may be hesitant to switch current patients to generics or branded competitors.
