Vasopressin name brand?

What is the brand name for vasopressin?

Vasopressin is a synthetic version of the natural hormone vasopressin (also called antidiuretic hormone, ADH). Its main prescription “brand name” in the U.S. is typically listed as Pitressin (vasopressin injection).

What vasopressin products come as brand vs. generic?

In practice, vasopressin can be sold under a brand injection (Pitressin is commonly cited) and may also have generic vasopressin injection products, depending on the market and manufacturer. If you tell me your country and the form/dose you’re looking for (e.g., injection concentration), I can narrow it to the exact listed brand in that location.

How do people search vasopressin by alternative names?

You may see the same medicine referred to by:
- Vasopressin injection
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (functional name/category, not usually a separate product name)
- Sometimes older references to Pitressin in clinical notes and formularies

If you share what’s written on the prescription (strength like 20 units/mL, route, and whether it’s “aqueous” or “injection”), I can help confirm the brand spelling and match it to the correct product line.
