Hydroxocobalamin As A Vasopressor Overview Hydroxocobalamin, a form of vitamin B12, is traditionally used for cyanide toxicity. However, in recent years, it has emerged as a rescue vasopressor for vasoplegic shock, particularly in cases refractory to conventional vasopressors. Its vasoconstrictive properties are tied to nitric oxide (NO) scavenging. Mechanism of Action Primary effect (as vasopressor): Scavenges nitric oxide (NO): Hydroxocobalamin binds NO and reduces its vasodilatory effects. ↓ NO → ↓ soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activation → ↓ cGMP → ↓ vasodilation → ↑ vascular tone Secondary effects:
