VASOPRESSIN, the active ingredient in VASOPRESSIN INJECTION USP, works by stimulating the kidneys to reabsorb water from the urine, thereby increasing blood volume and blood pressure. It also causes vasoconstriction, which helps to reduce blood loss in surgical procedures.

It is essential to monitor blood pressure, fluid status, and electrolyte levels regularly during treatment. Contraindications include heart disease, kidney disease, and certain types of glaucoma.
