Treprostinil-Nebulizer-Accesor

Pronounced

"tre-PROST-i-nil"

Uses

This medication is used to treat a type of high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension). Treprostinil helps to increase your ability to exercise and improves symptoms such as shortness of breath and tiredness. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels (arteries) in the lungs and other parts of the body so that blood can flow more easily. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as vasodilators.

How to Use This Medication

Read the Patient Information leaflet available from your pharmacist. This medication comes in a plastic container called an ampule. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to prepare each dose. This product is used with a special breathing device (nebulizer). Consult your doctor, pharmacist or respiratory therapist on how to inhale this medication properly with this equipment. Make sure you understand how to properly clean the nebulizer to prevent infections. If you have any questions, consult your health care professional.

Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Do not mix with other inhaled medications in the nebulizer.

Inhale this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 4 times daily during waking hours, at least 4 hours apart. Do not drink the solution. Do not get this medication on the skin or in your eye. If this happens, rinse the area with water. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day.

To avoid missing doses, be sure to have a backup nebulizer in case your regular device stops working properly.

Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
