Progecta is a hormone called "anti-diuretic hormone" that is normally secreted by the pituitary gland. Vasopressin acts on the kidneys and blood vessels – part of a group of products called “ Vasopressors”.
Vasopressin is a powerful vasoconstrictor, even in patients with catecholamine unresponsiveness. Because vasopressin dilates the pulmonary, cerebral, and myocardial circulations, it may help to preserve vital organ blood flow. Vasopressin have also been used as a rescue therapy for severe shock.
In addition to antidiuresis, high concentrations of vasopressin cause intense vasoconstriction in most vascular beds except the cerebral and coronary circulations. Thus, in the presence of hypovolemia, vasopressin helps maintain blood pressure and facilitates the redistribution of flow to essential organs.
