Pharmacological action of
Iloprost is a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin, inhibits platelet aggregation, adhesion and reaction, dilates arterioles and venules, increases capillary density (restores impaired microcirculation by inducing vasodation, inhibiting platelet activation, restoring platelets, activation of endogenous fibrinolysis and correction of imbalance in the cytokine system) and reduces the increased vascular permeability due to mediators, such as serotonin or histamine, activates endogenous fibrinolysis in the microcirculation system and exerts an anti-inflammatory effect: it inhibits the adhesion and migration of leukocytes after damage to the endothelium, as well as tissue, reduces the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF alpha).
Indications
thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger’s disease) in the later stages with critical limb ischemia in the absence of indications for
revascularization, severe peripheral arterial occlusion disease, especially in cases of risk of amputation and the impossibility of vascular surgery or angioplasty
severe Raynaud’s syndrome, leading to disability, not amenable to therapy with other drugs.
Contraindications

hypersensitivity to iloprost or other components of the drug
by road: in patients with cerebrovascular accident over the past 3 months (e.g. transient ischemic disorder, stroke). Such patients need a thorough assessment of the ratio of benefit and risk of treatment.
With renal failure requiring dialysis, and with cirrhosis, the excretion of iloprost is reduced.
It is necessary to take measures against a further decrease in blood pressure in patients with initially (prior to the initiation of Ilomedin therapy) low blood pressure, patients with severe heart disease should be closely monitored.
The possibility of developing orthostatic hypotension during the transition of patients from horizontal to vertical after the end of Ilomedin administration should be taken into account.
Special instructions
In the hope of the success of conservative iloprost therapy, surgery should not be postponed for patients requiring emergency leg amputation (for example, with infected gas gangrene).
Patients should be strongly advised to stop smoking.
Accidental injection of undiluted Ilomedin solution into nearby tissues can lead to their local change at the injection site (redness, pain, itching, feeling hot).
Avoid taking the drug inside and getting it on the mucous membranes. Once in the skin, iloprost can lead to prolonged, albeit painless, erythema. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid contact with the skin. If iloprost gets on any part of the skin, it should be immediately washed with plenty of water or saline sodium chloride.
Composition
1 ml contains iloprost trometamol 27 Ñg, which corresponds to 20 Ñg.
Dosage and administration of
IV, in the form of infusions, daily as a 6-hour infusion into a peripheral vein or a catheter installed in a central vein. The rate of administration (dose) depends on individual tolerance and is 0.5-2 ng / kg / min. During the first 2-3 days, individual tolerance of the drug is determined under the control of heart rate and blood pressure (should be determined at the beginning of the infusion and after each increase in dose): treatment is started at a rate of administration of 0.5 ng / kg / min for 30 minutes, then the dose is increased stepwise by 0.5 ng / kg / min every 30 minutes The exact rate of infusion is calculated based on their body weight and maximum tolerated dose, within 0.5-2 ng / kg / min. Determination of the infusion rate (ml / h) when using an infusion pump (for example Infusomat): the contents of the ampoule are dissolved in sterile 0.9% NaCl solution or 5% dextrose solution and the final volume of the solution is adjusted for the contents of the ampoule (2.5 ml) 50 ?g to 250 ml, for an ampoule (1 ml) 20 ?g – up to 100 ml.

Determination of infusion rate (ml / h) using an automatic syringe (e.g. Perfusor): the contents of the ampoules are diluted in sterile 0. A 9% NaCl solution or 5% dextrose solution and the final volume of the solution are adjusted for the contents of the ampoule (2.5 ml) 50 ?g to 25 ml, for the ampoule (1 ml) 20 ?g to 10 ml. A solution is obtained at a concentration of 2 ?g / ml, its infusion rate is determined in accordance with the dose and body weight dependence scheme (within 0.5-2.0 ng / kg / min): at a body weight of 40 kg and a dose of 0.5 ng / kg / min infusion – 0.6 ml / h, 1 ng / kg / min – 1.2 ml / h, 1.5 ng / kg / min – 1.8 ml / h, 2 ng / kg / min – 2.4 ml / h with a body weight of 50 kg and a dose of 0.5 ng / kg / min – 0.75 ml / h, 1.5 ng / kg / min – 1.5 ml / h, 1.5 ng / kg / min – 2.25 ml / h, 2 ng / kg / min – 3 ml / h with a body weight of 60 kg and a dose of 0.5 ng / kg / min – 0.9 ml / h, 1 ng / kg / min – 1.8 ml / h, 1.5 ng / kg / min – 2.7 ml / h, 2 ng / kg / min – 3.6 ml / h with a body weight of 70 kg and a dose of 0.5 ng / kg / min – 1.05 ml / min, 1 ng / kg / min – 2.1 ml / 1.5 ng / kg / min – 3.15 ml / hr of 2 ng / kg / min – 4. 2 ml / h with a body weight of 80 kg and a dose of 0.5 ng / kg / min – 1.2 ml / h, 1 ng / kg / min – 2.4 ml / h, 1.5 ng / kg / min – 3.6 ml / h, 2 ng / kg / min – 4.8 ml / h with a body weight of 90 kg and a dose of 0.5 ng / kg / min – 1.35 ml / h, 1 ng / kg / min – 2.7 ml / h, 1.5 ng / kg / min – 4.05 ml / h , 2 ng / kg / min – 5.4 ml / h with a body weight of 100 kg and a dose of 0.5 ng / kg / min – 1.5 ml / h, 1 ng / kg / min – 3 ml / h, 1.5 ng / kg / min – 1.5 ml / h, 2 ng / kg / min – 6 ml / h with a body weight of 110 kg and a dose of 0.5 ng / kg / min – 1.65 ml / h, 1 ng / kg / min – 3.3 ml / h, 1.5 ng / kg / min – 4.95 ml / h, 2 ng / kg / min – 6.6 ml / h. The duration of treatment is up to 4 weeks. In patients with Raynaud’s syndrome, shorter courses of treatment – 3-5 days are often enough to achieve a short remission (several weeks). In case of side effects such as headache, nausea or decreased blood pressure, infusion rate should be reduced to the maximum tolerated. With the development of severe side effects, the infusion must be interrupted. Treatment is usually resumed after 4 weeks in doses that the patient tolerated well in the first 2-3 days of the previous course of treatment. With renal failure requiring dialysis, and with cirrhosis of the liver, the recommended dose is reduced by 2 times.

Drug interactions
Due to possible interactions, Ilomedin should not be mixed with other medicines in the same solution.
Iloprost enhances the antihypertensive effect of? -adrenoblockers, slow calcium channel blockers and all vasodilators, as well as ACE inhibitors. If significant arterial hypotension occurs, blood pressure can be corrected by reducing the dose of iloprost.
Since iloprost inhibits platelet function, its use in combination with heparin or indirect anticoagulants (coumarin derivatives) or other platelet aggregation inhibitors (acetylsalicylic acid, NSAIDs, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and nitrates, for example, for example molsidomine), may increase the risk of bleeding. In this case, the infusion of Ilomedin should be discontinued. The use of acetylsalicylic acid in a dose of up to 300 mg / course of 8 days, prior to the use of Ilomedin, had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of iloprost.
In an animal study, it was found that iloprost can cause a decrease in the equilibrium concentration of tissue plasminogen activator (TAP) preparations in plasma. The results of studies in humans show that iloprost infusions do not affect the pharmacokinetics of multiple oral doses of digoxin in patients, and that when used simultaneously with TAP, iloprost does not affect its pharmacokinetics.
In animal experiments, the vasodilating effect of iloprost weakened, if the experimental animals previously received glucocorticosteroids, however, the inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation did not change. The value of this data for the clinic has not yet been established.
Although no clinical studies have been conducted, in vitro studies that examined the inhibitory potential of iloprost in relation to the activity of enzymes of the cytochrome P450 system revealed that a significant suppression of drug metabolism by these enzymes as a result of exposure to iloprost is unlikely.
Overdose
