How to Order:
Vasopressin Injection Multiple Dose Vial 10 mL is a sterile liquid medication that is used for emergency treatment of severe low blood pressure and for its effects on the body's water and electrolyte balance. It contains the active ingredient vasopressin, which is a hormone naturally produced by the body. The medication comes in a 10 mL vial and can be used multiple times to administer the correct dosage. It is typically given as an injection into a vein or muscle by a healthcare professional.
Vasopressin injection is used to treat diabetes insipidus, a condition in which the body does not produce enough anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). It is also used to treat low blood pressure in adults with septic shock and certain types of bleeding in the esophagus (variceal bleeding). It is also used to control and stop bleeding during surgery or to treat bleeding disorders such as hemophilia. Vasopressin works by causing blood vessels to constrict and increasing the reabsorption of water by the kidneys. This helps to reduce excessive fluid loss and control bleeding.
Vasopressin injection is a medication that contains a synthetic version of the hormone vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This hormone is naturally produced by the pituitary gland and plays an important role in regulating water balance in the body.
When injected, vasopressin works by binding to specific receptors in the kidneys and blood vessels. This causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water, reducing the amount of urine produced and increasing the concentration of blood in the body. This helps to raise blood pressure and prevent dehydration.
Additionally, vasopressin has a vasoconstrictive effect, meaning it narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. This is due to its effects on the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels, causing them to constrict and increase resistance to blood flow.
Vasopressin injection is typically used to treat low blood pressure, especially in emergency situations. It can also be used to stop or prevent bleeding from esophageal varices in individuals with liver disease.
