WHAT TREPULMIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT TREPULMIX IS
The active ingredient of Trepulmix is treprostinil.
Treprostinil belongs to a group of medicines which work in a similar
way to the naturally occurring
prostacyclins. Prostacyclins are hormone-like substances which reduce
blood pressure by relaxing
blood vessels, causing them to widen, which allows the blood to flow
more easily. Prostacyclins can
also have an influence in preventing blood from clotting.
WHAT TREPULMIX IS USED TO TREAT
Trepulmix is used for the treatment of adult patients with inoperable
chronic thromboembolic
pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), or persistent or recurrent CTEPH after
surgical treatment (severity
classified WHO Functional Class (FC) III or IV), to improve exercise
capacity and symptoms of the
disease. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a condition
where your blood pressure is
too high in the blood vessels between the heart and the lungs causing
shortness of breath, dizziness,
tiredness, fainting, palpitations or abnor
