Cpressin P 20iu Inj (Vasopressin) acts primarily by binding to receptors (V1, V2) in various tissues. V2 receptor activation increases water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing urine output. V1 receptor activation causes vasoconstriction, increasing blood pressure. Its effects on blood clotting and other systems contribute to its use in specific conditions.
