CompositionNatrise Tablet is used to treat low blood sodium levels (hyponatraemia) in adults with conditions such as heart failure or liver cirrhosis, where the body retains too much water. By helping the body remove excess water without losing important salts, it raises sodium levels back to a normal range.
It contains tolvaptan, which works by blocking the action of a hormone that causes the body to retain water. Treatment is typically started in a hospital setting where sodium levels and the rate of correction can be closely monitored. Ensure you have free access to water throughout treatment, and drink when you feel thirsty, as your doctor advises.
Your doctor will check your blood sodium levels regularly during treatment to ensure they are rising at a safe rate. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking this medicine, as it may affect how the medicine works.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any liver problems, difficulty passing urine, or are taking other medicines, particularly those that affect sodium levels or kidney function. This medicine requires regular liver function monitoring. It should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding without specific medical advice.
