Introduction: In Bleeding esophageal varices Esophageal varices develop when normal blood flow to the liver is blocked by a clot or scar tissue in the liver. VPRESS 20 IU INJECTION helps to reduce blood flow by narrowing the blood vessels and helps reduce and stop bleeding. It is given as an injection by a doctor or a nurse and should not be self-administered. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit. In Diabetes insipidus VPRESS 20 IU INJECTION contains a hormone vasopressin, that acts on the kidneys and reduces the frequency and amount of urine produced by the kidneys. Thus, it brings about rapid action of controlling thirst and also reduces the urge to urinate often. This helps to manage these symptoms in diabetes insipidus and improves your quality of life. In Low blood pressure VPRESS 20 IU INJECTION is used to relieve low blood pressure which may occur due to sudden change in posture from lying to sitting or standing up, during an operation or after an injury. This medicine helps to bring back the blood pressure within normal range and therefore prevents any sudden fall or even serious complications that might have otherwise followed due to low blood pressure.
