Remodulin
Remodulin Overview

Remodulin (generic: treprostinil) is a prescription medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. Remodulin belongs to a group of drugs called vasodilators, which help to relax the blood vessels within and around the lungs. This helps increase your ability to breathe, especially during exercise. It also acts as a blood thinner, which decreases the chance of a blood clot.

This medication is available in an injectable form to be given directly into a vein (IV) or just under the skin (subcutaneously) by a healthcare professional.

Common side effects of Remodulin include diarrhea, jaw pain, and pain at the site of injection. Remodulin can also cause dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Remodulin affects you.
