Treprostinil Injection 2.5mg/mL Multiple-Dose Vial 20 mL

Treprostinil is a medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that causes high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. It works by relaxing and widening these arteries, allowing for better blood flow and decreasing the workload on the heart. Treprostinil is administered through injection, and the 1mg/mL multiple-dose vial contains 20 mL of the medication. This means that there is approximately 20 milligrams of treprostinil in each milliliter of solution. The multiple-dose vial allows for several doses to be drawn from the same vial, making it more convenient for patients who require multiple injections.
