Terlipressin for injection is a synthetic analog of vasopressin, primarily used in the treatment of conditions like hepatorenal syndrome and esophageal variceal bleeding. It acts as a vasoconstrictor, improving renal perfusion and reducing portal pressure by constricting blood vessels.
When administering terlipressin, it is usually given intravenously, allowing for rapid action. The dosage and duration depend on the specific condition being treated and the patient's response. As with any medication, monitoring for potential side effects, such as hypertension and ischemia, is essential during treatment.
Terlipressin has been shown to be effective in improving kidney function in patients with liver cirrhosis and associated renal impairment. Its use is often part of a broader management strategy for patients with significant liver disease.
