Indications & Clinical Uses

Iloprost acts on the prostacyclin pathway to provide vasodilatory therapy for pulmonary vascular disease and related conditions.

  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension: improves exercise capacity and reduces pulmonary vascular resistance.
  • Digital ulcers associated with systemic sclerosis: promotes ulcer healing and reduces pain.
  • Pulmonary hypertension (including secondary forms): provides vasodilation and improves hemodynamic parameters.

How It Works

  • Iloprost is a synthetic prostacyclin (PGI2) analog that selectively activates the IP (prostacyclin) receptor on vascular smooth‑muscle cells. Receptor activation raises intracellular cyclic AMP, leading to relaxation of pulmonary arteries, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and anti‑proliferative effects on the vascular wall.

Side Effects

Iloprost may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects

  • Headache: transient throbbing pain during infusion.
  • Flushing: warm sensation and reddening of skin.
  • Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset.
  • Infusion site pain: discomfort at the injection site.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe hypotension: marked drop in blood pressure requiring intervention.
  • Pulmonary edema: fluid accumulation in lungs.
  • Bleeding complications: increased risk of hemorrhage, especially with anticoagulants.

Precautions & Warnings

Prior to initiating Iloprost therapy, several precautions should be considered to ensure safe use.

  • Renal impairment: monitor renal function and adjust infusion rate as needed.
  • Hepatic impairment: use with caution and observe liver enzymes.
  • Bleeding risk: avoid concomitant anticoagulants unless clinically required.
  • Hypotension: monitor blood pressure during and after infusion.
  • Pregnancy: prescribe only if potential benefits justify potential risks to the fetus.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Avoid Interactions

Iloprost can interact with other medications, influencing its safety and efficacy.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concomitant potent vasodilators (e.g., nitroglycerin): risk of severe hypotension.
  • Epoprostenol: additive vasodilatory effect may cause profound hypotension.
  • Anticoagulants: increased bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Calcium channel blockers: may enhance hypotensive response.
  • Beta‑blockers: may mask tachycardia associated with hypotension.
  • Diuretics: can affect fluid balance and blood pressure during infusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iloprost Pharmamentum is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and for the management of digital ulcers associated with systemic sclerosis. In both conditions it works by dilating pulmonary vessels and improving blood flow, which can reduce symptoms and promote ulcer healing.

Iloprost is a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin (PGI2). It binds to IP receptors on vascular smooth‑muscle cells, increasing intracellular cyclic AMP. The rise in cAMP causes relaxation of pulmonary arteries, inhibits platelet aggregation, and exerts anti‑proliferative effects on the vascular wall.

The dosing regimen for Iloprost is individualized. A qualified prescriber determines the infusion rate, concentration, and duration based on the patient’s clinical condition, response, and tolerance. No fixed dose can be stated without a medical prescription.

Safety data for Iloprost in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential therapeutic benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus. Breastfeeding decisions should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional, considering the lack of definitive safety information.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity of Iloprost Pharmamentum. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain handling if needed), and required import documentation.

Iloprost belongs to the prostacyclin analog class, offering rapid vasodilation via IP‑receptor activation. Compared with oral endothelin‑receptor antagonists or phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors, Iloprost provides a short‑acting, infusion‑based option that can be titrated quickly and is useful when oral agents are insufficient or not tolerated.

Iloprost should be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C. Keep the solution in its original container, protect it from light, and avoid freezing or shaking. If a temporary temperature excursion occurs, discard the product if visual changes or cloudiness are observed.

Iloprost is administered intravenously, typically as a continuous infusion or intermittent short‑duration infusion under medical supervision. The infusion set, rate, and duration are determined by the prescribing clinician and are adjusted according to the patient’s hemodynamic response and tolerance.

Serious adverse events include severe hypotension, pulmonary edema, and significant bleeding, especially when combined with anticoagulants. Patients should be monitored closely for abrupt drops in blood pressure, respiratory distress, or signs of hemorrhage, and the infusion should be stopped immediately if these occur.

Iloprost is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to iloprost or any component of the formulation. It should also be avoided in individuals with uncontrolled severe hypotension, active bleeding disorders, or those receiving incompatible vasodilators without careful monitoring.
