Iloprost Colonis Pharma (Iloprost Trometamol)

Iloprost, the active ingredient in Iloprost Colonis Pharma, is a prostacyclin analog presented as an intravenous solution for use in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension and digital ischemia. It works by selectively activating prostacyclin (IP) receptors to produce vasodilation and inhibit platelet aggregation.

GNH India supplies Iloprost Colonis Pharma as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals worldwide. The company adheres to EU quality standards and provides reliable logistics for clinical use.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Iloprost is used in the management of vascular disorders that involve pulmonary arterial pressure elevation and peripheral ischemia.

  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension: reduces pulmonary vascular resistance and improves exercise capacity.
  • Digital ischemia: promotes vasodilation to relieve ischemic pain and tissue injury.
  • Severe Raynaud's phenomenon: alleviates vasospasm and improves digital blood flow.

How It Works

  • Iloprost is a selective prostacyclin (IP) receptor agonist. By binding to IP receptors on vascular smooth‑muscle cells, it stimulates cyclic AMP production, leading to potent vasodilation of pulmonary and systemic arteries. The same pathway also inhibits platelet aggregation, contributing to improved microcirculatory flow in ischemic tissues.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Headache: mild to moderate, often transient.
  • Flushing: warm sensation, usually resolves with continued therapy.
  • Nausea or vomiting: gastrointestinal discomfort during infusion.
  • Hypotension: drop in blood pressure, monitored during administration.
  • Jaw pain or toothache: reported during infusion.
  • Cough or throat irritation: related to intravenous delivery.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe hypotension: may require medical intervention.
  • Pulmonary edema: fluid accumulation in lungs, rare but serious.
  • Significant bleeding: especially when combined with anticoagulants.
  • Thrombocytopenia: low platelet count, increasing bleeding risk.
  • Myocardial ischemia: chest pain indicating reduced heart blood flow.
  • Life‑threatening arrhythmias: abnormal heart rhythms requiring urgent care.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

  • Dose titration: start with a low infusion rate and adjust based on tolerance.
  • Hemodynamic monitoring: continuously monitor blood pressure and heart rate during infusion.
  • Bleeding risk: avoid in patients with active bleeding or uncontrolled anticoagulation.
  • Renal impairment: adjust infusion parameters in severe renal dysfunction.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: use only if potential benefits outweigh potential risks.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Iloprost may interact with other medications; careful review is essential.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concomitant nitrates or other potent vasodilators: may cause severe hypotension.
  • Anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents: increased risk of bleeding.
  • Other prostacyclin analogs (e.g., epoprostenol): additive vasodilatory effect.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Calcium channel blockers: may enhance hypotensive response.
  • Beta‑blockers: may mask tachycardia, requiring closer monitoring.
  • Diuretics: may exacerbate hypotension, especially during rapid infusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iloprost Colonis Pharma is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and for the relief of digital ischemia, including severe Raynaud's phenomenon. In these conditions it helps lower vascular resistance, improve blood flow, and reduce ischemic pain, supporting better functional capacity and tissue perfusion.

Iloprost is a selective agonist of the prostacyclin (IP) receptor. Activation of this receptor increases cyclic AMP within vascular smooth‑muscle cells, causing potent vasodilation of pulmonary and systemic arteries. The same signaling pathway also inhibits platelet aggregation, which together improve oxygen delivery to the lungs and peripheral tissues.

The specific dose and infusion rate of Iloprost are determined by the prescribing physician based on the patient’s clinical condition, severity of disease, and response to therapy. Dosing is individualized and may be adjusted during treatment to achieve optimal therapeutic effect while minimizing adverse reactions.

Safety data for Iloprost during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only when the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Healthcare providers should discuss the risks and benefits with the patient and consider alternative therapies when appropriate.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide. After the request, the sales team will verify trade or institutional credentials, then provide pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain logistics if needed), and any required import documentation.

Iloprost belongs to the prostacyclin class, offering direct vasodilation and antiplatelet effects. Compared with endothelin receptor antagonists or phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors, it provides rapid hemodynamic improvement but requires intravenous infusion. Its profile is useful for patients who need immediate pulmonary pressure reduction or who cannot tolerate oral agents.

Iloprost should be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C, protected from light, and kept in its original container. Do not freeze or shake the solution. If temporary storage at room temperature is unavoidable, limit exposure to no more than a few hours and return the product to refrigeration promptly.

Iloprost is administered by intravenous infusion, typically using an infusion pump to deliver a controlled rate. The infusion is given over a defined period, often several minutes to an hour, under continuous monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and clinical response. Administration is performed by qualified healthcare personnel.

The most serious adverse events include severe hypotension, pulmonary edema, significant bleeding, thrombocytopenia, myocardial ischemia, and life‑threatening arrhythmias. Patients should be closely monitored during infusion, and any signs of sudden blood pressure drop, chest pain, excessive bleeding, or abnormal heart rhythm require immediate medical attention.

Iloprost is contraindicated in patients with active uncontrolled bleeding, severe hypotension, recent myocardial infarction, known hypersensitivity to iloprost or any component of the formulation, and in those for whom a reliable intravenous access cannot be maintained. Clinicians must evaluate each patient’s medical history before initiating therapy.
