MEDICAL INFORMATION

Iloprost Key Facts

What dosages is Iloprost available in?

Iloprost is available as a 1 mL ampules in two concentrations: 10 mcg/mL and 20 mcg/mL.

What is Iloprost used for?

Iloprost is a prostacyclin and is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

How does Iloprost work?

Iloprost is a lab-made medication that works similarly to the prostacyclin chemical that your body naturally makes. When it’s inhaled through the mouth, Iloprost helps to relax the blood vessels in the lungs, which allows more blood to flow through. As a result, the medication helps your body get more oxygen. This helps you breathe and exercise easier.

How do I take Iloprost?

Iloprost comes in ampules. Each ampule contains 10 mcg or 20 mcg of Iloprost. With the I-neb AAD system, a 10 mcg ampule can deliver 2.5 mcg or 5 mcg of Iloprost for each treatment session, and a 20 mcg ampule can deliver 5 mcg of Iloprost for each treatment session. The typical starting dose is 2.5 mcg inhaled by mouth 6 to 9 times daily, about 2 hours apart. Your provider might raise your dose to 5 mcg inhaled 6 to 9 times daily (no more than once every 2 hours), depending on how well you tolerate the medication. The maximum total dose is 45 mcg daily (5 mcg inhaled 9 times daily).

Is it safe for me to take Iloprost?

If you have Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage and none of the Iloprost savings options are applicable or affordable for me, what can you do?

If you are insured with Medicare and the Iloprost drug savings options are not applicable to you and still remain unaffordable, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.

The government site is easy to use and after you have selected your state, it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. State Medicaid programs may cover the full cost of your medication.

People who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid are called ‘dual eligibles’.

If you are denied Medicaid for Iloprost, and you are still unable to afford your copay or co-insurance element (for example if you are in the coverage gap or Donut Hole) then you may be eligible for a federal support program like Low Income Subsidy. To be eligible for Low Income Subsidy, you need to be a resident in one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia. You can check eligibility online at SSA Medicare D Extra Help. You can also call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

I am uninsured or underinsured and none of the Iloprost prescription saving options are applicable or affordable for me, what can I do?

If you are uninsured or underinsured (for example, Iloprost is not covered by your plan) and the drug savings options are not applicable or still unaffordable, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.

The government site is easy to use and you can select your state and it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. State Medicaid programs may cover the full cost of your medication.

If you are denied and all else fails, and if you have been prescribed Iloprost for an FDA-approved indication, you can call the pharmaceutical company to see if they have any other assistance programs.

I am commercially or privately insured and none of the Iloprost prescription saving options are applicable or affordable for me, what can I do?

If your medication is not covered by your plan, you can appeal your insurance company’s decision. Sometimes, a formal appeal can result in the drug being covered if it is deemed medically necessary.

If you cannot afford your copay contribution, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.

However, being privately insured might complicate your eligibility for Medicaid, as having private insurance may be considered in the financial eligibility assessment.

The government site is easy to use and you can select your state and it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. If you qualify, state Medicaid may cover the full cost of your medication.
