PHARMACOLOGY
Vasopressin Injection USP is a synthetic water-soluble pressor
principle identical in sequence to
arginine vasopressin.
Vasopressin exerts its antidiuretic action by increasing the
reabsorption of water by the renal
tubules. The drug also can cause contraction of smooth muscle of the
gastrointestinal tract and of
all parts of the vascular beds, especially the capillaries, small
arterioles, and venules, with less
effect on the smooth musculature of the large veins.
The direct effect on the contractile elements is neither antagonized
by adrenergic blocking agents
nor prevented by vascular denervation.
Vasopressin Injection USP is intended for intramuscular (IM) or
subcutaneous (SC) injection.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
Vasopressin Injection USP is intended for use in the prevention or
treatment of post-operation
abdominal distention, dispelling of gas shadows in abdominal
roentgenography and symptomatic
control of diabetes insipidus.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Vasopressin Injection USP should not be used in patients having
cardiorenal disease with
hypertension, advanced arteriosclerosis, coronary thrombosis, angina
pectoris, epilepsy or toxemia
of pregnancy. Anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity to the drug or its
components are also
contraindications.
Chronic nephritis with nitrogen retention may be a contraindication
(see PRECAUTIONS).
WARNINGS
Vasopressin Injection USP should not be used except with extreme
caution in patients with
