La Jolla Pharmaceutical (Nasdaq:LJPC) today announced that GIAPREZA™ (angiotensin II), injection for intravenous infusion, is now commercially available. In December 2017, GIAPREZA was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to increase blood pressure in adults with septic or other distributive shock.
