Wine and Treprostinil (IV)

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

VASODILATORS

Why this applies to Treprostinil (IV)

Treprostinil (IV) falls under VASODILATORS — the group Wine interacts with.

Concomitant use may increase the risk of acute hypotension.
Acute alcohol intoxication can increase the risk of hypotension and additive effects with vasodilators.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Probable Evidence C

Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports..

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Treprostinil works by widening your blood vessels to ease the pressure in the arteries of your lungs. The trouble is that wine does something similar in its own way: the alcohol in it can also relax and dilate blood vessels, especially if you drink more than a little. Stack the two together and the blood-pressure-lowering effects can pile up.

What that can feel like in real life is dizziness, lightheadedness, flushing, a pounding headache, or feeling faint when you stand up. This isn't about resveratrol or grape antioxidants; it's the ethanol that matters, and the more you drink, the bigger the risk. A small amount with food is less likely to cause trouble than heavier drinking. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist about whether any alcohol is okay for you.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Treprostinil (IV) page

“Bleeding risk is the thread running through nearly every supplement flagged for treprostinil (Remodulin), the IV therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension. The drug itself discourages platelets from clumping, so the overwhelming majority of these ingredients could push that tendency further, and I would not add anything from this pag…”

About Wine

What is Wine?

  • Social and relaxation use
  • Heart health (popular belief)
  • Antioxidant intake
  • Aiding digestion (traditional use)
  • Culinary flavoring

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes and is not a true dietary supplement or medicine. Despite popular claims about heart benefits, the alcohol it contains carries real health risks, and no amount of drinking can be recommended to improve health. If you drink, do so in moderation, and avoid alcohol entirely during pregnancy or if you have certain medical conditions.

About Treprostinil Injection

What Is Treprostinil Injection Used For?

Brand name: Remodulin

Treprostinil injection is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO Group 1) — high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs. It works to reduce the symptoms that make exercise difficult. Clinical studies included patients with moderate-to-severe PAH symptoms (NYHA Class II–IV) due to idiopathic or heritable PAH, PAH related to congenital heart defects, and PAH related to connective tissue diseases.

It is also used for PAH patients who need to transition off epoprostenol — a related medication — to slow the worsening of their condition during that switch. The risks and benefits of the transition should be carefully discussed with a specialist before starting.
