TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION belongs to the class of drugs called vasopressin receptor agonists used for the treatment of bleeding oesophageal varices and the emergency treatment of type 1 hepatorenal syndrome (rapidly progressive kidney failure) in patients with ascites (abdominal swelling due to accumulation of fluid) and liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). Bleeding oesophageal varices occur when there is bleeding from dilated veins in the food pipe leading to your stomach.

TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION contains Terlipressin, a synthetic pituitary hormone that breaks down in the body to release a substance called lysine vasopressin that is used to stop bleeding from leaking varicose veins in the food pipe. It works by narrowing the affected blood vessels and restricting the blood flow through them. Thus, it helps to control bleeding.

TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION may cause common side effects such as headache, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, high or low blood pressure, too slow heart rate, pale skin, and insufficient blood circulation in arms, legs and skin. Most of these side effects of TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Terlipressin or other medicines, please tell your doctor. TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION is not recommended for children and adolescents as the safety and effectiveness were not established. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, please inform your doctor before receiving TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION.
