Detailed Vasopressin dosage information for adults. Includes dosages for Hypotension, Diabetes Insipidus, Abdominal Distension and more; plus renal, liver and dialysis adjustments.
Vasopressin is used to raise blood pressure in adults with life-threatening low blood pressure when other treatments have not worked. Vasopressin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Vasopressin is a hormone that the hypothalamus produces and the pituitary gland secretes. It slows down urine output and causes blood vessels to constrict. By doing so, it can maintain the normal balance of fluids in the body, regulate blood pressure, and maintain circadian rhythm and overall homeostasis.
Vasopressors help you raise your blood pressure when it’s so low that you can’t get enough blood to your organs. This is the case with shock victims and people with other conditions that make their blood pressure very low. Providers often give vasopressor drugs to you through an IV.
Vasopressin injection is used to control the frequent urination, increased thirst, and loss of water caused by diabetes insipidus. This is a condition that causes the body to lose too much water and become dehydrated.

Easy-to-read patient leaflet for Vasopressin (IV). Includes indications, proper use, special instructions, precautions, and possible side effects.
Vasopressin regulates the body's fluid and electrolyte (osmotic) balance, blood pressure, sodium levels and kidney function. Hypothalamus releases vasopressin when blood’s water content drops resulting in increased solute concentration (hyperosmolarity), or if blood volume is reduced.
Indicated to increase blood pressure in adults with vasodilatory shock who remain hypotensive despite fluids and catecholamines. Titrate to lowest dose compatible with clinically acceptable...
A vasopressin injection is a synthetic form of the vasopressin hormone that regulates the water balance in your body. The injection helps lower the amount of pee that your body makes. It also tightens small blood vessels. It treats stomach bloating and diabetes insipidus.
Vasopressin, at therapeutic doses used for vasodilatory shock, stimulates the AVPR1a (or V1) receptor and increases systemic vascular resistance and mean arterial blood pressure; in response to these effects, a decrease in heart rate and cardiac output may be seen.
