Description
TOLVAT 15MG Tablets contain Tolvaptan, a vasopressin antagonist used to treat low sodium levels in the blood (hyponatremia). It works by blocking the action of vasopressin, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain water, thereby increasing urine production and raising blood sodium levels. This medication is often used in conditions like heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).
Dosage/Directions:
Take TOLVAT 15MG Tablets as prescribed by your doctor, typically once daily. It can be taken with or without food, but it’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and timing. Regular monitoring of blood sodium levels is necessary while on this medication. Do not stop taking it without consulting your healthcare provider.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include increased urination, dry mouth, increased thirst, and constipation. Serious side effects may include electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and kidney problems. Contact your doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.
