Liposomal prostaglandin E1

Identification

Generic Name
Liposomal prostaglandin E1
DrugBank Accession Number
DB05391
Background

Liposome-encapsulated form of prostaglandin E1 (Liprostin) is known to be a potent vasodilator and platelet inhibitor as well as an anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic agent. The liposomal formulation of PGE-1 changes the drug’s dynamics and improve its therapeutic index in ways that PGE-1 alone could not achieve.
