VIP

VIP, or vasoactive intestinal peptide, was pulled out of pig intestinal wall in 1972 and turned out to belong to the same family as secretin and glucagon. Twenty-eight amino acids long, it widens blood vessels, relaxes smooth muscle and damps down inflammation, and a nasal spray form has a following in chronic-illness communities for mast cell activation syndrome, dysautonomia and brain fog. None of the twelve references on file studies that use. The registered human trials infuse it into a vein to induce headache in migraine research, or test it in acute respiratory distress syndrome and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; no trial of the intranasal route is on file.

Mechanism
VPAC receptor activation associated with anti-inflammatory and mast-cell modulation.

Classified as
- Subcutaneousroute
- This is the route the reconstitution arithmetic assumes. Mass divided by diluent volume gives concentration, dose divided by concentration gives volume, and volume in mL multiplied by 100 gives units on a U-100 barrel: 5 mg in 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL, and 0.25 mg comes out at 0.1 mL, which is 10 units.
- Intranasalroute
- A nasal device delivers a fixed volume per spray, so concentration rather than syringe volume sets the amount per spray, and a mass figure on a record is not usable until you know how many actuations it was divided across.
- Intravenousroute
- A large share of the pharmacokinetic numbers attached to peptide records, half-life in particular, come from intravenous studies and often from animals. Those numbers describe an intravenous curve and do not transfer unchanged to a depot under the skin.
