Glypressin is used to treat bleeding esophageal varices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Esophageal varices are dilated blood vessels that occur in the esophagus (esophagus) as a complication of liver disease. They can rupture and bleed, which is a serious and life-threatening condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the active ingredient, terlipressin, is injected into the bloodstream, it is broken down and releases a substance called lysine vasopressin. This acts on the walls of the blood vessels and causes them to constrict, thereby impeding blood flow to the affected veins so that bleeding is reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor before using Glypressin if any of these apply to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During treatment with Glypressin, blood pressure<\/strong>, heart rate, and fluid balance<\/strong> should be monitored continuously.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or another healthcare professional if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines<\/strong>, including medicines obtained<\/strong> without a prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is very important that you tell your doctor if you are taking any type of heart medicine (such as propofol or beta-blockers ) as these may increase if they are taken at the same time as Glypressin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glypressin should not be used during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glypressin should not be used during breastfeeding as it is unknown whether Glypressin passes into breast milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consult a doctor or healthcare professional before taking any medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not relevant.

The additional dose is usually 1-2 mg every four hours until the bleeding has been under control for 24 hours. Treatment should not last more than 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After starting dose can be dose-adjusted relative to body weight or any side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common (affects 1 to 10 users in 100):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncommon (affects 1-10 users in 1000):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare (affects 1-10 of 10,000 users)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n – Dyspnoea (difficulty breathing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reporting of side effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
