Sterile Diluent

Treprostinil injection is a medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that affects blood flow in the lungs and can cause symptoms like shortness of breath during exercise. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which helps improve blood flow and reduce the symptoms of PAH. The medication is given as a continuous infusion either under the skin or through an intravenous line, starting at a dose of 1.25 ng/kg/min, which can be increased based on how well you respond, with a maximum dose that can go higher depending on your needs. It's important to avoid stopping the medication suddenly, as this can lead to serious health issues. Additionally, if you are taking gemfibrozil, a medication used to lower cholesterol, it can significantly increase the levels of treprostinil in your body, so your doctor will need to monitor you closely.
