How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Vasostrict). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Vasopressin causes vasoconstriction by binding to V 1 receptors on vascular smooth muscle coupled to the Gq/11-phospholipase C-phosphatidyl-inositol-triphosphate pathway, resulting in the release of intracellular calcium.
In addition, vasopressin stimulates antidiuresis via stimulation of V 2 receptors which are coupled to adenyl cyclase.
Vasopressin is predominantly metabolized and only about 6% of the dose is excreted unchanged into urine.

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Vasostrict). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Vasostrict ® 10 mL multiple dose vial is contraindicated in patients with known allergy or hypersensitivity to 8‑L-arginine vasopressin or chlorobutanol.
- The 1 mL single dose vial, 50 mL and 100 mL pre-mixed single dose vial does not contain chlorobutanol and is therefore contraindicated only in patients with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to 8-L-arginine vasopressin.
