Consumer:Severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh Class C) is a contraindication in patients taking the oral presentation of treprostinil. Treprostinil is substantially metabolized by the liver, primarily by CYP450 2C8. Treprostinil injection clearance is reduced in patients with hepatic insufficiency. In patients with mild or moderate hepatic insufficiency, decrease the initial dose of treprostinil injection to 0.625 ng/kg/min ideal body weight, and monitor closely. Treprostinil injection has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic insufficiency. It is recommended to titrate treprostinil injection slowly in patients with hepatic insufficiency, because such patients will likely be exposed to greater systemic concentrations relative to patients with normal hepatic or renal function.
