What it is and what it is used for

for

Iloprost Waymade contains the active ingredient iloprost which imitates a natural substance in the body called prostacyclin. Iloprost Waymade and prostacyclin prevent unwanted blockages or narrowing of blood vessels and allow improved blood flow in the arteries. Iloprost Waymade promotes the healing of wounds caused by insufficient blood flow (ischemia) by providing better oxygenation, and relieving pain in severe, chronic disorders of the blood circulation. Iloprost Waymade is used in adults in the treatment of:

• Severe chronic ischaemia of lower limbs (decreased blood supply) in patients at risk of amputation, in whom surgical revascularisation or angioplasty (repair of blood vessel) has failed or is not indicated, following the meeting of physicians, surgeons and radiologists.
• Severe Raynaud's phenomena (reduced blood flow to fingers and toes) in patients with progressive trophic disorders 2.

How to use Iloprost Waymade

Iloprost Waymade should be used only under strict monitoring in hospitals or outpatient clinics with adequate facilities. Your doctor will be able to tell you what dose you are receiving and how often you should take it. If you are in doubt, ask your doctor or healthcare professional. Only the doctor can change the dose. How Iloprost Waymade is prepared for administration Iloprost Waymade is a solution contained in a glass ampoule. The content of the ampoule is diluted with 0.9% physiological sodium chloride solution or a 5% glucose solution. The infusion solution should be prepared just before the infusion daily, to ensure sterility. The content of the ampoule and the diluent must be mixed thoroughly. Iloprost Waymade must be used only after dilution. For further information for physicians or healthcare professionals on the preparation of the dilution see section "The following information is intended for medical and healthcare professionals only" at the end of this leaflet. How Iloprost Waymade is given The solution is infused intravenously with a venous catheter directly into one of the veins in your arm or into a central intravenous catheter inserted into a vein near your neck. Iloprost Waymade is administered as infusion over 6 hours daily. The dose is adjusted according to individual tolerability within the range of 0.5 to 2.0 ng iloprost/kg body weight/min. Your blood pressure and heart rate will be measured at the start of the infusion and after every dose increase. How much Iloprost Waymade is given During the first 2-3 days, the individually tolerated dose is established. For this purpose, your doctor will start the treatment at a low dose. Treatment should be started at an infusion rate of 0.5 ng/kg/min for 30 minutes. The dose should then be increased at intervals of 30 minutes in steps of 0.5 ng/kg/min up to 2.0 ng/kg/min. The exact infusion speed should be calculated on the basis of body weight to reach an infusion within the range of 0.5 to 2.0 ng/kg/min (see tables below for use with infusion pump or syringe driver). If adverse effects occur, such as headache and nausea or an undesirable drop in blood pressure, tell your doctor immediately. The infusion rate should be reduced until the tolerable dose is found. If the adverse effects are severe, the infusion should be interrupted. For the remaining duration, the treatment should be continued with the dose found to be tolerated in the first 2 to 3 days. The doctor will determine whether Iloprost Waymade will be infused intravenously by an infusion pump or with syringe driver. If Iloprost Waymade is administered with an infusion pump, it will be diluted before infusion to a final concentration of 0.2 micrograms/ml. If Iloprost Waymade is administered with a syringe driver, it will be diluted before infusion to a final concentration of 2 micrograms/ml. If you have renal failure requiring dialysis or liver cirrhosis, iloprost elimination is reduced and a dose reduction (e.g. half the recommended dose) is necessary. Tell your doctor if you have problems with your liver or kidneys.

How to take it

: The duration of treatment is up to 4 weeks. The safety and efficacy of Iloprost Waymade have not been studied for treatment longer than 4 weeks or after repetitive treatment cycles. Continuous infusion over several days is not recommended, because it can lead to reduced effect on platelets and increased platelet aggregation (platelet hyperaggregability) at the end of treatment. No clinical complications associated with these phenomena have been reported.

If you feel that the effect of Iloprost Waymade is too strong or too weak, tell your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any further questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist. If you use more Iloprost Waymade than you should: Drop in blood pressure (hypotensive reaction) can be expected, as well as headache, redness of the face (flushing), nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. An increase in blood pressure, reduced or increased heart rate and limb or back pain may also occur. No specific antidote is known. In case of overdose, your doctor is advised to discontinue infusion of iloprost, to monitor you and treat your symptoms. If you stop using Iloprost Waymade: If the infusion therapy with Iloprost Waymade is discontinued, your doctor will take care to restore the changes that might have been made to other medicines you take, due to Iloprost Waymade administration (e.g. dose reductions). 4.
