tolvaptan Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What dosages is tolvaptan available in?
tolvaptan is available as a 15 mg and 30 mg oral tablet.
What is tolvaptan used for?
tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor antagonist and is used to treat:
- Low blood sodium levels with a high blood volume (hypervolemic hyponatremia)
- Low blood sodium levels with a normal blood volume (euvolemic hyponatremia)
How does tolvaptan work?
tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor antagonist. It works by blocking a natural hormone in your body called vasopressin from attaching to the vasopressin-2 receptor in your kidneys. When this happens, your kidney doesn’t absorb as much water back into your body and you end up urinating the water out. This causes your blood sodium level to go up.
How do I take tolvaptan?
The typical starting dose is 15 mg by mouth once per day. Your provider might slowly raise the dose to up to 60 mg once per day, depending on how your blood sodium levels respond to the medication and if you’re having side effects. The maximum duration of treatment is 30 days.
