About TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION

TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION belongs to the class of drugs called vasopressin receptor agonists used for the treatment of bleeding oesophageal varices and the emergency treatment of type 1 hepatorenal syndrome (rapidly progressive kidney failure) in patients with ascites (abdominal swelling due to accumulation of fluid) and liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). Bleeding oesophageal varices occur when there is bleeding from dilated veins in the food pipe leading to your stomach.

TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION contains Terlipressin, a synthetic pituitary hormone that breaks down in the body to release a substance called lysine vasopressin that is used to stop bleeding from leaking varicose veins in the food pipe. It works by narrowing the affected blood vessels and restricting the blood flow through them. Thus, it helps to control bleeding.

TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION may cause common side effects such as headache, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, high or low blood pressure, too slow heart rate, pale skin, and insufficient blood circulation in arms, legs and skin. Most of these side effects of TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Terlipressin or other medicines, please tell your doctor. TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION is not recommended for children and adolescents as the safety and effectiveness were not established. If you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, please inform your doctor before receiving TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION. If you are elderly above 70 years of age, discuss with your doctor before receiving TPRESSIN 1.0MG INJECTION.

Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:

Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.

Shortness Of Breath

Here are the seven steps to manage medication-triggered Dyspnea (Difficulty Breathing or Shortness of Breath):

Tell your doctor immediately if you experience shortness of breath after taking medication.
Your doctor may adjust the medication regimen or dosage or give alternative medical procedures to minimize the symptoms of shortness of breath.
Monitor your oxygen levels and breathing rate regularly to track changes and potential side effects.
For controlling stress and anxiety, try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga.
Make lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Seek emergency medical attention if you experience severe shortness of breath, chest pain, or difficulty speaking.
Follow up regularly with your doctor to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans, and address any concerns or questions.

Slow Heart Rate

Exercising regularly helps lower the risk of heart problems.
Maintain a healthy diet, including vegetables and fruits.
Rest well; get enough sleep.

Limit alcohol and smoking.

Low Blood Pressure

Managing Low Blood Pressure Triggered by Medication: Expert Advice:

If you experience low blood pressure symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting while taking medication, seek immediate medical attention.
Make lifestyle modifications and adjust your medication regimen under medical guidance to manage low blood pressure.
As your doctor advises, regularly check your blood pressure at home. Record your readings to detect any changes and share them with your doctor.
Fluid intake plays a vital role in managing blood pressure by maintaining blood volume, regulating blood pressure, and supporting blood vessel function. Drinking enough fluids helps prevent dehydration, maintain electrolyte balance, and regulate fluid balance.
Take regular breaks to sit or lie down if you need to stand for long periods.
When lying down, elevate your head with extra pillows to help improve blood flow.
Avoid heavy exercise or strenuous activities that can worsen low blood pressure.
Wear compression socks as your doctor advises to enhance blood flow, reduce oedema, and control blood pressure.
If symptoms persist or worsen, or if you have concerns about your condition, seek medical attention for personalized guidance and care.

Insufficient Blood Supply To Tisues

Consult a doctor when you have signs such as pain, numbness, or discoloration in order to establish the cause and get the proper treatment.
Medications may be prescribed by your doctor to promote blood flow and prevent further complications.
Exercise often, such as walking or swimming, to increase cardiovascular health and circulation.
Keep yourself at an ideal weight because excess weight creates strain on the blood vessels, and improves the circulation.
Stop smoking since it damages the blood vessels and impairs circulation.
Relieve stress through techniques such as meditation or deep breathing.
Avoid very cold temperatures as they can constrict blood vessels and reduce the flow of circulation.
Drink sufficient water to allow good blood circulation.
Monitor blood pressure regularly and ensure that it is within the healthy range.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bleeding oesophageal varices: These occur when varices (swollen veins) in the lower oesophagus (food pipe) rupture and bleed. When liver blood flow is obstructed, blood builds up in other blood vessels nearby, including those in the lower oesophagus. This causes blood vessels to dilate and swell as a result of the increased blood flow. The swollen veins are known as oesophageal varices which may leak blood and rupture eventually. Often, it does not cause any symptoms until they rupture and bleed. If the bleeding is mild, the symptoms include black, tarry stools, and if the bleeding is severe, the symptoms include stomach pain, blood in your vomit, rectal bleeding, lightheadedness, and bloody stools.
