Vasopressin is a potent vasoconstrictor used in the treatment of septic shock, cardiac arrest, and diabetes insipidus. It is primarily available as a 20 units/mL IV injection in single or multi-dose vials. Vasopressin enhances blood pressure by acting on V1 receptors and is often combined with other catecholamines in ICU settings. In the US, Vasostrict was the leading brand, now available in generic versions. The EU markets feature brands like Empressin and Vasopressin Aguettant. As a high-demand critical care drug, vasopressin is routinely procured by hospitals, emergency departments, and healthcare distributors through B2B pharmaceutical platforms and institutional tenders.
