"We are pleased to provide this important authorized generic product to patients, especially in these difficult times of COVID-19," says Marc Kikuchi, Chief Executive Officer, North America Generics, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Inc.

The Vasopressin injection is indicated to increase blood pressure in adults with vasodilatory shock who remain hypotensive despite fluids and catecholamines. Vasopressin (also known as antidiuretic hormone) plays a crucial role in regulating the circadian rhythm — the periods of sleepiness and wakefulness in a 24-hour cycle which is regulated by Hypothalamus. Vasopressin also helps in maintaining the body's internal temperature, its blood volume, and the proper flow of urine from the kidneys.

Dr. Reddy's Vasopressin Injection, USP, is supplied in a carton of 25 single-dose vials each containing vasopressin 1 mL at 20 units/mL.

Vasostrict is a trademark of Par Pharmaceutical Inc. The company offers an extensive range of prescription products across various therapeutic categories.
