Terlipressin 1mg/10mL Injection
SKU GME709Product Introduction
Terlipressin 1mg/10mL Injection is a vasopressin analogue used in specialist hospital care for selected hepatorenal-syndrome cases and bleeding oesophageal varices. It treats these specific complications of advanced liver disease rather than the underlying cirrhosis.
How to use
Administer intravenously under a hospital protocol with oxygenation, circulation, fluid balance and renal response monitored. Reconstitution and dosing must account for whether strength is expressed as terlipressin or its acetate salt.
How it works
Predominantly V1-receptor-mediated vasoconstriction reduces splanchnic blood flow and can improve effective renal perfusion in hepatorenal syndrome.
Side effects
Abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea and circulatory effects may occur; respiratory failure and ischaemia are major serious risks.
Important information
Do not initiate in hypoxia or worsening respiratory symptoms. Review fluid overload and cardiac, peripheral or mesenteric ischaemia; oxygen saturation requires close surveillance.
Uses
- Selected hepatorenal syndrome
- acute bleeding from oesophageal varices
Benefits
Can improve renal function in selected hepatorenal-syndrome patients or reduce portal inflow during variceal bleeding.
Can it be self-injected?
No. It requires monitored hospital administration.
Why is oxygen saturation checked closely?
Treatment can cause serious or fatal respiratory failure.
Does it repair the underlying liver disease?
No. It addresses specific complications rather than curing cirrhosis.
Why does fluid overload matter?
Excess fluid can increase respiratory risk during treatment.
Are terlipressin and terlipressin acetate amounts identical?
No. Salt and active-base expressions must be interpreted from the product label.
What if chest pain or cold painful limbs occur?
These can indicate ischaemia and need immediate clinical assessment.
Is it appropriate for every cause of kidney injury?
No. Establishing hepatorenal syndrome and excluding other causes is essential.
Is albumin always interchangeable with this medicine?
No. Albumin and terlipressin have different roles within the specialist protocol.
