Effectiveness

How Prostin Vr Pediatric Affects PatientsAlprostadil (prostaglandin E1) is a natural substance that helps relax the walls of blood vessels and increases blood flow. In adult males, this drug increases blood flow to the penis, making it harder. In infants, it increases blood flow in the lungs or body.
How Prostin Vr Pediatric works in the bodyAlprostadil works by causing the blood vessels to widen, either in the lungs or in the penis. In infants with heart conditions, it can increase oxygen supply in the body. In adults, administration of alprostadil through injection or suppository causes the penis to swell and become rigid due to increased arterial blood flow into the corpus cavernosum. This entraps blood and prevents venous outflow.

Patient Q&A Section about prostin vr pediatric

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How is prostin calculated?

"The recommended starting dose of 0.1 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per minute is based on clinical studies; however, reports show that an adequate clinical response can be achieved using a starting dose of 0.05 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per minute."

Answered by AI

How do you inject prostin?

"Inject the medication into a different area on the opposite side of the penis from the site of the last dose each time. Apply pressure to the injection site with an alcohol swab for about 5 minutes after injection to prevent bruising. Do not use a bent needle to inject this medication."

Answered by AI

What is alprostadil used for in babies?

"This medicine is used to treat certain heart, lung, and blood vessel problems in infants. It helps to keep the ductus arteriosus (blood vessel in the heart) open temporarily before having a surgery. This medicine should only be given by or under the supervision of your child's doctor."

Ibuprofen for Patent Ductus Arteriosus

< 18
All Sexes
Hamilton, Canada
Newborns born early are at risk for a serious health problem called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). PDA is a passageway between heart and lung that can cause life-threatening complications such as bleeding in the brain or even death if it remains open and large. When closure of PDA is needed, doctors make every attempt to do it as soon as possible. Ibuprofen is the best drug to close the PDA, but it only works for 50% of small newborns. The investigators have shown before that small newborns handle ibuprofen differently and the amount of active ibuprofen that reaches their blood can be very unpredictable. Studies have shown if enough ibuprofen reaches the body, it can close the PDA. Therefore the investigators designed this study to see whether it is possible to give each newborn the right amount of ibuprofen that their body needs to close the PDA. The investigators will compare two ways to give ibuprofen in a small number of newborns: 1 - standard amount of ibuprofen to everyone, which is the usual care or 2 - ibuprofen doses that will be changed based on how much active ibuprofen has reached the body and how well the newborn's PDA is closing. The investigators will then compare the number of PDAs closed in each group and closely monitor any possible challenges for this new practice. By doing this project, the goals can be summarized as below: A. Primary goal: To determine if it is feasible to successfully run a larger study in the future. B. Secondary goals 1. To assess how well and how safely the personalized (MIPD) method works, using a tool called WAPPS-PDA to guide dosing. 2. To compare the effectiveness and safety of the personalized method with standard ibuprofen dosing. 3. To identify drug levels in the blood (Cmin, AUC0-24, AUC0-72) that are associated with complete, partial, or no response to treatment.

Oral Treprostinil for Raynaud's Disease

18+
All Sexes
Boston, MA
Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition where the blood vessels in participants fingers and toes get too narrow when cold or stressed. This makes participants fingers and toes change colors - they might turn white, then blue, and finally red as blood flow returns. It can be painful and cause numbness or tingling. When participants have Raynaud's, blood vessels react too strongly to cold or stress. Fingers and toes may turn white (blood moves away from the area), blue (lack of oxygen), or red and feel painful or tingly when warming up. These episodes usually last from a few minutes to several hours. There are two types of Raynaud's. Primary Raynaud's (also called Raynaud's disease) itself and isn't connected to other health problems. It's the most common type and affects mostly women under 30. Secondary Raynaud's (also called Raynaud's phenomenon) is caused by other diseases like lupus, scleroderma, or rheumatoid arthritis. This type tends to be more serious and may cause painful sores on fingertips called digital ulcers. For mild cases, staying warm might be enough. But if symptoms are severe, participants doctor might prescribe various medications including calcium channel blockers - blood pressure medicines that help open blood vessels, or other vasodilators - medicines that widen blood vessels. About 40% of people with scleroderma develop painful sores on their fingertips called digital ulcers. These happen when there isn't enough blood flow to heal small injuries. For severe cases with digital ulcers, doctors might use prostacyclin therapy - medicines that mimic a natural substance that opens blood vessels. Oral treprostinil is a newer pill form of prostacyclin therapy that helps improve blood flow. The investigators are conducting a research study testing whether oral treprostinil - a pill that mimics prostacyclin (a natural blood vessel opener) - can help people with severe Raynaud's that doesn't respond to usual treatments. This represents hope for better treatment options for people with the most challenging cases of this condition.
