What is Orenitram?

Orenitram is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by United Therapeutics Corporation. Orenitram is a prostacyclin vasodilator indicated for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (common symptoms of PAH include tiredness and shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, especially when doing daily activities) (WHO Group 1) to improve exercise capacity.

The study that established effectiveness included predominately patients with WHO (World Health Organization) functional class II-III symptoms and etiologies of idiopathic or heritable PAH (75%) or PAH associated with connective tissue disease (19%). As the sole vasodilator, the effect on exercise is small. Orenitram has not been shown to add to other vasodilator therapy.

What doses of Orenitram are available?

Orenitram is available in extended-release tablet form, in the following doses: 0.125 mg, 0.25 mg, 1 mg, and 2.5 mg.

The recommended starting dose is 0.25 mg orally every 12 hours with food. The total daily dose can be divided and given every 8 hours with food, in titrations of 0.125 mg 3 times daily.
The maximum dose will depend on tolerability. The maximum dose studied was 21 mg orally every 12 hours with food.

Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow the tablet whole. Orenitram is made with a shell that is not absorbed in the body and part of the tablet shell may appear in your stool. Call your doctor if you have new or worsening PAH symptoms such as shortness of breath (even with mild exertion), tiredness, chest pain, and pale skin.

Store the tablets at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Read the full patient information and the additional information supplied with your medication. Always speak with your healthcare provider for medical advice or about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
