Ventavis® (iloprost) Dosing Options

Ventavis Dosing Chart

Take your Ventavis treatments 6-9 times each day, at least 2 hours apart, or as prescribed by your doctor.

*Different colored chambers and dosing discs are NOT interchangeable. Do not use the 20 mcg/mL ampule with the purple- or red-latched medication chambers.

Ventavis 20 mcg/mL

Your doctor may prescribe Ventavis 20 mcg/mL if you have long treatment times and are maintained at the 5 mcg dose. The higher concentration of medicine lowers the amount of solution you need to take by 50%, which gives you shorter treatment time.1

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
    Because it lowers your blood pressure, Ventavis may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. With Ventavis, the most common side effects are reddening of the face caused by dilation of blood vessels (flushing), increased cough, low blood pressure (hypotension), headaches, nausea, spasm of the jaw muscles that causes trouble opening your mouth, and fainting (syncope); other serious adverse events reported with the use of Ventavis include congestive heart failure, chest pain, supraventricular tachycardia, dyspnea, peripheral edema, and kidney failure. Before you start taking Ventavis, talk to your doctor to make sure you understand the side effects you might get.

    †The 20 mcg/mL concentration is intended for patients who are maintained at the 5 mcg dose and who have repeatedly experienced extended treatment times which could result in incomplete dosing. Ventavis 10 mcg/mL ampules are still available. Ventavis should be inhaled as your doctor prescribes, usually 6-9 times a day, but not more often than every 2 hours.1
