This product is the generic version of Endo International plc's original Vasostrict formulation, which is indicated to increase blood pressure in adults with vasodilatory shock (e.g., post-cardiotomy or sepsis) who remain hypotensive despite fluids and catecholamines.
Vasostrict had approximately USD 400m in brand sales in 2017.
