About This Medicine
Product description & overview
L-Loc Injection with Terlipressin 1mg
L-Loc Injection with Terlipressin 1mg is a prescription medication used to manage portal hypertension, a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the veins of the liver and digestive system. The medication features Terlipressin, a potent vasodilator that helps widen the blood vessels, reducing congestion within the gastrointestinal tract.
This injection delivers a precise dose of Terlipressin directly into the bloodstream, offering fast-acting relief from portal hypertension symptoms. It is often prescribed alongside other treatments for severe cases and can help improve symptom management.
Please note: This medication requires a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional. Consult your healthcare provider before starting this or any new medication to ensure it aligns with your individual health needs.

About Terlipressin
Terlipressin is a vasopressin receptor agonist used to manage bleeding esophageal varices and treat type 1 hepatorenal syndrome in patients with liver cirrhosis. By constricting blood vessels, Terlipressin reduces blood flow to the portal circulation, thereby controlling bleeding. It also aids in improving renal function in patients with acute kidney injury related to liver disease. Common side effects may include abdominal cramps and changes in blood pressure, but these typically resolve over time. In simple terms, Terlipressin helps control bleeding in the esophagus and supports kidney function in liver disease.
How It Works
Terlipressin activates V1 receptors on vascular smooth muscle, causing vasoconstriction and reducing portal pressure, which helps control bleeding from esophageal varices.
