• Bleeding esophageal varices

Terlipressin, an inactive prodrug, is converted via enzymatic cleavage to lysine-vasopressin. The active vasopressin selectively causes splanchnic and extrarenal vasoconstriction by stimulation of V1 receptors on vascular smooth muscle, thereby reducing splanchnic blood flow and portal pressure. It also increases systemic mean arterial pressure and decrease heart rate. It has minimal action on V2 receptors responsible for its antidiuretic effects.
