" Well Berta, Guess Who.
Yes, I started Letaris 5 in January and switched to 10 MG in March. I take Letaris along with a fistfull of other meds and for about the last month have in general been feeling better than for the last 3+ years. If I can answer any particular questions let me know. Have a great day. Joan "

" I ask my pharmacist about the letaris and tracleer. Tracleer is an older druy and the letiaris is new which I realize because I was in the study but I am glad to find some of you are taking letaris. They seem to think for some that letaris has less side effects than tracleer. I don't have a lot of side effects but I do know most meds cause liver damage. O well, just interested in what you all had to say. Have a good day. Love and Prayers, Berta "
