Introduction to tolvat

Tolvat is a medication primarily used to treat low sodium levels in the blood, a condition known as hyponatremia. It is especially beneficial for patients with heart failure or certain hormone imbalances that cause the body to retain too much water.

Composition of tolvat

Tolvat contains the active ingredient Tolvaptan, which works by blocking the action of a hormone called vasopressin in the kidneys. This hormone usually promotes water retention, and by blocking its effects, Tolvat helps increase the amount of water excreted through urine without affecting sodium levels.

Uses of tolvat

  • Treatment of low sodium levels in the blood (hyponatremia)
  • Management of fluid buildup in patients with heart failure
  • Correction of hormone imbalances that cause water retention

  • Thirst
  • Dry mouth
  • Increased urination
  • Nausea

  • Low blood pressure
  • Electrolyte imbalances

Precautions of tolvat

Tolvat carries a risk of liver damage, so liver function should be monitored regularly. It should not be used by patients with liver disease or acute kidney injury. It's also not recommended for individuals with low blood volume or those who are not producing urine. Caution is advised in people with heart or kidney disease.
