Terlipressin

Terlipressin is an analogue of vasopressin used as a vasoactive drug in the management of hypotension. It has been found to be effective when norepinephrine does not help.

Indications for use include norepinephrine-resistant septic shock and hepatorenal syndrome. In addition, it is used in bleeding esophageal varices.

Terlipressin is marketed under the brand name Glypressin (Ferring Pharmaceuticals).
