Uses of Vaptolva 15MG Tab

Treatment of clinically significant hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia (low sodium) associated with conditions such as heart failure, cirrhosis and SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion), when fluid restriction is ineffective.

• •Raises low sodium levels in hyponatremia
• •Promotes excretion of excess body water without major sodium loss
• •Helps relieve fluid overload in heart failure/cirrhosis-associated hyponatremia
• •Improves symptoms related to low sodium (confusion
• •weakness) under monitoring

How it works

Tolvaptan is a selective vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist in the kidney. It blocks the action of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), increasing free water excretion (aquaresis) without significant loss of sodium, thereby raising serum sodium levels and reducing fluid overload.
