Description

Vasopressin 20 Units/mL Single-Dose Vial (SDV) is a synthetic hormone used to regulate water balance and increase blood pressure by constricting blood vessels. It is commonly administered in clinical settings to treat diabetes insipidus, manage vasodilatory shock, or control gastrointestinal bleeding. Each vial contains 20 units of vasopressin per milliliter to ensure precise dosing.

The formulation includes 5 mg/mL of chlorobutanol, a preservative that maintains product stability and prolongs shelf life. This preparation ensures effectiveness during storage and transportation while preventing microbial contamination. Vasopressin is provided in a sterile, single-dose vial, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring patient safety during administration.

The vial closure is not made with natural rubber latex, minimizing the potential for allergic reactions in sensitive patients. This feature makes it suitable for use in environments where latex allergies are a concern, such as hospitals and surgical centers. The non-latex closure also contributes to broader patient compatibility and safety.
