TOLVAPTORIS 15 is a medication containing the active ingredient Tolvaptan, dosed at 15mg. It is primarily used to treat conditions associated with fluid retention and electrolyte imbalances. Tolvaptan belongs to a class of medications known as vasopressin receptor antagonists. It works by promoting the excretion of water from the body while retaining essential electrolytes, thus helping manage conditions such as hyponatremia (low sodium levels) and polycystic kidney disease. This medication is designed to provide effective and targeted relief, improving the quality of life for individuals dealing with these challenging health conditions.

How Does It Work?

Tolvaptan works by selectively blocking the vasopressin V2 receptors in the kidneys. Vasopressin is a hormone that normally promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to water retention and dilution of sodium in the blood. By inhibiting the action of vasopressin, Tolvaptan prevents water reabsorption, resulting in increased urine output and a more concentrated urine. This mechanism helps to correct fluid imbalances and increase blood sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. In cases of polycystic kidney disease, Tolvaptan slows the growth of cysts in the kidneys, helping to preserve kidney function over time.
