PRODUCT INFORMATION
POR-8 FERRING
®
Ornipressin
DESCRIPTION
POR-8 FERRING
®
is ornipressin (8-ornithine-vasopressin), a synthetic polypeptide
with a molecular weight of 1042.2. It is closely related to synthetic
vasopressin,
and differs from that substance only by the substitution of ornithine
for lysine in the
side chain. It is available in sealed 1mL ampoules each containing 5
IU. The
sterile solution is clear and pH is adjusted to 3.7.
POR-8 FERRING contains sodium acetate, sodium chloride, acetic acid
and water
for injections as excipients.

PHARMACOLOGY
POR-8 FERRING
®
has a potent and specific constrictor effect on the
microcirculation and veins which is equal to, if not greater than,
that of
vasopressin. It has antidiuretic activity but this is weak by
comparison with
vasopressin.
Topical administration or infiltration leads within 10 minutes to
local ischaemia
which usually lasts for 1 to 2 hours, and is not followed by reactive
hyperaemia.
POR-8 FERRING
®
may be used with general anaesthetics which are usually not
compatible with adrenaline, eg halothane, without fear of
precipitating cardiac
arrhythmias.
