Terlipressin, sold under the brand name Terlivaz among others, is an analogue of vasopressin used as a vasoactive drug in the management of low blood pressure. It has been found to be effective when norepinephrine does not help. Terlipressin is a vasopressin receptor agonist.
Terlipressin was approved for medical use in the United States in 2022. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it to be a first-in-class medication.
