VIP

A vasoactive neuropeptide studied through intravenous, inhaled and other specialist routes. Rapid haemodynamic effects make route and monitoring central.

Evidence context, not a personal protocol

Quantities below reproduce their stated source context—label, human study, laboratory work or educational guide. They do not assess suitability, product equivalence or individual risk.

Dosage and protocol evidence

Each card states what the quantities are based on. A third-party or animal schedule is not a validated human dose.

Human StudyInhaledSingle exposure
Twenty adults with chronic pulmonary hypertension during catheterisation

A single 100 mcg inhaled aviptadil exposure was evaluated with haemodynamic and blood-gas measurements

This was a monitored acute physiology study, not a subcutaneous protocol or an established general treatment schedule.

Human StudyIntravenous infusionDaily for 3 days
Hospitalised adults in the TESICO trial

Aviptadil was infused for 12 hours daily for three days at 600, 1,200 and 1,800 pmol/kg on successive days

This hospital infusion schedule was indication-specific and did not establish benefit for a general or self-directed VIP protocol.

Evidence summary

A vasoactive neuropeptide studied through intravenous, inhaled and other specialist routes. Rapid haemodynamic effects make route and monitoring central.

Protocol basis

The page groups evidence by route and refuses to collapse monitored infusion or inhalation studies into a single self-directed injection schedule.

What remains uncertain

A general indication, route-equivalent exposure, long-term safety and matched retail formulation remain unestablished.

Warnings and contraindications

VIP can affect blood pressure, heart rate, airways and gastrointestinal function.
Intravenous and inhaled protocols are not interchangeable with subcutaneous vials.
Human studies are indication-specific and typically use close physiological monitoring.
