What is Tresuvi

The active ingredient of Tresuvi is treprostinilo.

Treprostinilo belongs to a group of medications whose action is similar to that of natural prostacyclins. Prostacyclins are substances similar to hormones that reduce blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, causing them to dilate and allowing blood to flow more easily. Prostacyclins can also prevent blood coagulation.

What is Tresuvi used for

Treprostinilo is used to treat idiopathic or hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with moderate symptoms. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a disease in which blood pressure is too high in the blood vessels between the heart and lungs. This causes difficulty breathing, dizziness, fatigue, fainting, palpitations or abnormal heartbeats, dry cough, chest pain, and swelling of the ankles or legs.

Tresuvi is initially administered in the form of a continuous subcutaneous infusion (under the skin). Some patients may not tolerate this administration because it causes pain and swelling. The doctor will decide whether to administer this medication through a continuous intravenous infusion (directly into a vein) with the insertion of a central intravenous catheter (catheter) connected to an external pump, or, depending on their condition, to a surgically implanted pump under the skin of the abdomen. The doctor will decide which option is best for you.

How Tresuvi works

Tresuvi reduces arterial pressure in the pulmonary artery by improving blood flow and reducing heart workload. Improved blood flow leads to better oxygen supply to the body and reduced heart effort, making it work more efficiently. Tresuvi improves symptoms associated with PAH and exercise capacity in patients who are limited in terms of activity.

Do not use Tresuvi:

•if you are allergic to treprostinil or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

-if you have been diagnosed with a condition called pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. In this condition, the blood vessels that transport blood through the lungs become swollen and blocked, increasing the pressure in the blood vessels between the heart and lungs.

-if you have severe liver failure

-if you have a heart problem, for example:

•a heart attack (myocardial infarction) in the last six months

•severe changes in heart rate

•severe coronary heart disease or angina

•a heart defect diagnosis, such as a faulty heart valve that causes poor heart function

•any heart disease that is not being treated or closely monitored by a doctor

-if you have a specific risk of bleeding; for example, active stomach ulcers, injuries, or other bleeding conditions

-if you have had a stroke in the last three months, or any interruption of blood supply to the brain

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before starting to use Tresuvi if:

-you have any liver disease

-you have been advised that you are clinically obese (BMI greater than 30 kg/m2)

-you have HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection

-you have high blood pressure in the veins of the liver (portal hypertension)

-you have a congenital heart defect that affects the way blood circulates through it

During treatment with this medication, inform your doctor:

-if your blood pressure decreases (hypotension)

-if you experience rapid worsening of breathing difficulties or persistent cough (may be related to congestion in the lungs, asthma, or other conditions); consult your doctor immediately.

-if you have excessive bleeding, as treprostinil may increase the risk of bleeding by preventing blood coagulation

-if you experience fever while receiving treprostinil intravenously, or if the intravenous administration site becomes red, swollen, and/or painful to the touch, as this could be a sign of infection

Other medications and Tresuvi

Inform your doctor if you are taking/using, have taken/used recently, or may need to take/use any other medication. Inform your doctor if you are taking:

-medications used to treat high blood pressure (anti-hypertensive medications or other vasodilators)

-medications used to increase urine output (diuretics), including furosemide

-medications that prevent blood coagulation (anticoagulants), such as warfarin, heparin, or medications with nitric oxide

-any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen)

• medications that may increase or decrease the effect of treprostinil (e.g., gemfibrozil, rifampin, trimethoprim, deferasirox, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, St. John's Wort), as your doctor may need to adjust your treprostinil dose

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

This medication is not recommended for use if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, unless your doctor considers it essential. The safety of this medication for use during pregnancy has not been established.

It is highly recommended to use contraceptive methods during treprostinil treatment.

This medication is not recommended for use during breastfeeding, unless your doctor considers it essential. You are advised to stop breastfeeding if you are prescribed treprostinil, as it is unknown whether this medication passes into breast milk.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication.

Driving and operating machinery

This medication may cause low blood pressure with dizziness and fainting. In such cases, do not drive or operate machinery, and consult your doctor.

Tresuvi contains sodium

Inform your doctor if you follow a sodium-controlled diet. Your doctor will take into account that one vial of Tresuvi contains the following amounts of sodium:

Tresuvi 1mg/ml infusion solution:

This medication contains a maximum of 36.8mg of sodium (main component of table salt/for cooking) in each 10ml vial. This is equivalent to1.8%of the recommended daily maximum sodium intake for an adult.

Tresuvi 2.5mg/ml infusion solution:

This medication containsa maximum of37.3mg of sodium (main component of table salt/for cooking) in each 10ml vial. This is equivalent to 1.9% of the recommended daily maximum sodium intake for an adult.

Tresuvi 5mg/ml infusion solution:

This medication containsa maximum of39.1mg of sodium (main component of table salt/for cooking) in each 10ml vial. This is equivalent to 2.0% of the recommended daily maximum sodium intake for an adult.

Tresuvi 10mg/ml infusion solution:

This medication containsa maximum of37.4mg of sodium (main component of table salt/for cooking) in each 10ml vial. This is equivalent to 1.9% of the recommended daily maximum sodium intake for an adult.

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medication as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor again.

Tresuvi is administered in the form of continuous infusion:

• subcutaneously (under the skin) through a small tube (cannula) placed in the abdomen or thigh;

or

• intravenously through a tube (catheter) that is usually placed in the neck, chest, or groin.

In both cases, a portable pump placed outside the body (external) pumps treprostinilthrough the tube.

Before leaving the hospital or clinic, your doctor will inform you how to prepare this medication and at what rate the pump should administer the treprostinil

Flush the infusion line while it is connected may cause an accidental overdose.

Alternatively, Tresuvi can be administered intravenously through an implantable infusion pump, which is usually inserted surgically under the skin of the abdomen. In this case, the pump and catheters are completely inside the body (internal), and you will have to attend periodically at the hospital or clinic (e.g., every 4 weeks) to have the internal reservoir recharged.

In any case, you will also be given information on how to use the pump correctly and what to do if it stops working. The information should also indicate who to contact in case of an emergency.

Tresuvi is only diluted when administered in the form of continuous intravenous infusion:

For intravenous infusion with portable external pump:Only dilute the treprostinil solution with sterile water for injection or sodium chloride 0.9% solution for injection (as indicated by your doctor).

For intravenous infusion with implantable infusion pump:You will have to attend periodically at the hospital or clinic (e.g., every 4 weeks), where healthcare professionals will dilute your treprostinil solution with sodium chloride 0.9% solution for injection and recharge the internal reservoir.

Adult patients

Tresuvi is available as a solution for infusion of 1mg/ml, 2.5mg/ml, 5mg/ml or 10mg/ml. Your doctor will determine the infusion rate and the appropriate dose for your disease.

Patients with obesity

If you are obese (30% or more above your ideal body weight), your doctor will determine the initial dose and subsequent doses based on your ideal body weight. See also section 2, "Warnings and precautions".

Older patients

Your doctor will determine the infusion rate and the appropriate dose for your disease.

Use in children and adolescents

Data are limited for children and adolescents.

Dose adjustment

The infusion rate can be reduced or increased individuallyexclusively under medical supervision.

The goal of adjusting the infusion rate is to establish an effective maintenance rate that improves HAP symptoms and minimizes any unwanted effects.

If your symptoms worsen or if you need absolute rest, or are confined to bed or chair, or if any physical activity causes discomfort and your symptoms appear at rest, do not increase the dose without consulting your doctor. This medication may no longer be sufficient to treat your disease, and another treatment may be necessary.

How to prevent bloodstream infections with Tresuvi by intravenous route?

Like any long-term intravenous treatment, there is a risk of contracting bloodstream infections. Your doctor will inform you how to prevent them.

If you use more Tresuvi than you should

If you receive an accidental overdose of this medication, you may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure (dizziness, fainting, or loss of consciousness), skin redness, and/or headaches.

If any of these symptoms become severe, you should contact your doctor or hospital immediately. The doctor may reduce the dose or discontinue administration until the symptoms disappear. Then, the administration of treprostinil will be resumed with the recommended dose by your doctor.

If you interrupt treatment with Tresuvi

Always use treprostinil according to the instructions of your doctor or hospital specialist. Do not interrupt treatment with Tresuvi unless your doctor tells you to do so.

Abrupt withdrawal or sudden reductions in the dose of treprostinil may cause the reappearance of pulmonary arterial hypertension with the possibility of rapid and severe deterioration of your condition.

If you have any other doubts about the use of this medication, ask your doctor.
