Tolvamac 15 Tablet is taken orally.

Tolvamac 15 Tablet contains Tolvaptan (15 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Vasopressin V2-receptor Antagonist: Tolvaptan works by selectively blocking the binding of vasopressin to the V2-receptors in the kidneys. Vasopressin is a hormone that controls the amount of water your kidneys remove from your body.

• Increases Urine Output: By blocking the V2-receptors, Tolvaptan inhibits the reabsorption of water in the kidney tubules. This leads to increased urine output without affecting the excretion of electrolytes like potassium and sodium. This process is known as aquaresis.

• Raises Serum Sodium Levels: Since Tolvaptan reduces the body's total water content relative to sodium content, it effectively increases serum sodium concentrations, helping manage low sodium levels in the blood.

• Store your Tolvamac 15 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in a dry place, away from moisture and humidity.

• Protect the medicine from direct sunlight or heat sources.

• Always keep this medication out of reach of children.

• Remember to use the tablet before its expiry date for maximum effectiveness.

• If you're using Tolvamac 15 Tablet for managing low sodium levels in the blood, it's wise to maintain a balanced diet with appropriate salt intake. Excessive consumption can disturb your body's sodium balance.

• As this medicine also helps manage conditions like heart failure and liver cirrhosis, a low-fat, low-sodium diet can be beneficial. Avoid consuming alcohol as it can exacerbate these conditions and possibly interact with your medication. Always consult your doctor for personalised advice.
