“…The combination of vasocontrictor therapy such as terlipressin, for 5 days, along with endoscopic therapy as compared with terlipressin alone decreases risk of rebleeding but does not affect survival [6]. The use of terlipressin has also been shown to be cost-effective in respect of prehospital management [7].…”
