About This Medication

# Verona Pathway Plus Patient Guide: How to Get Ohtuvayre at Low or No Cost Ohtuvayre (ensifentrine) is a prescription nebulized solution used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults, helping to improve lung function and reduce flare-ups by combining bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects.[1][2] The **Verona Pathway Plus** program from Verona Pharma offers comprehensive support, including financial assistance options like copay help, bridge programs, and patient assistance to make Ohtuvayre affordable or free for eligible patients.[1][5] ## About Ohtuvayre and Why Assistance Matters Ohtuvayre is delivered via nebulizer, a device that turns the liquid medication into a mist you inhale. It's unique as the first dual-action therapy approved for COPD maintenance, working twice daily for 5 minutes per session. Unlike pills or inhalers, it requires a **specialty pharmacy** network for dispensing, supplies, and delivery—handled seamlessly through Verona Pathway Plus.[1][4] COPD affects millions, causing breathing difficulties, cough, and fatigue. Treatment costs can be high, especially without insurance or with high copays. Verona Pathway Plus steps in with **personalized care coordinators** who check your insurance, explore savings, and coordinate everything from prescriptions to home delivery. Whether commercially insured, underinsured, or uninsured, there's likely a path to low or no-cost access.[1][5] ## Who Qualifies for Verona Pathway Plus?
