FORMULATIONS OF TERLIPRESSIN

Pharmaceutical compositions of terlipressin have been developed to have higher concentrations and better stability for long-term storage. Terlipressin is a synthetic drug used to treat serious complications from liver disease, but it is usually only given in hospitals because it needs to be administered frequently. There can be significant side effects, which may lead to stopping treatment in some patients. Continuous administration of terlipressin has been safely done in other countries, allowing for more flexible dosing. The new formulations aim to make terlipressin easier to store and use, potentially improving patient care.
