Is ensifentrine-Ohtuvayre 17500 per box real? How many days can it be used?

Ensifentine Inhalation Suspension Solution (Ensifentrine)-Ohtuvayre is a new type of drug mainly used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory diseases. It is a dual-action drug that can simultaneously exert bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects, improve the ventilation function of the respiratory tract, and relieve patients' symptoms. Ohtuvayre is a trade name for exefantine, used in its inhaled suspension dosage form.

Exefentine can effectively improve lung function and reduce symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Patients may experience less shortness of breath, easier breathing, and improvements in coughing and phlegm production. Currently, the original drug of Ensefentin has not yet been officially launched in mainland China. However, the drug may already be on sale in the imported drug market in some administrative regions. The specific price and whether it will be included in medical insurance have not yet been clarified. It is understood that the US version of the original drug marketed overseas has a specification of 3mg/2.5mL (60 doses). Each box is priced at more than 40,000 yuan. The price may change due to exchange rate fluctuations.

A box of Ohtuvayre with a specification of 3mg/2.5mL, each bottle contains 60 doses, suitable for use once a day in the morning and evening. Based on the recommended dose of 2.5mL per inhalation, one box of medicine can theoretically be used for one month. If the patient takes the drug at the recommended dose, the box of medication is good for 30 days.

Currently, the generic version of exefantine is not yet on the market, which means that patients can only choose to purchase the original drug. If the patient requires long-term treatment, he or she needs to consider the purchase and use schedule of the drug based on the doctor's recommendations. For domestic patients, since the drug has not yet been included in medical insurance, the price is relatively high, so the continued use and treatment costs of the drug need to be considered before purchasing.
