Tolvasca 15 Tablet contains Tolvaptan (15 mg), and its activity in the body works as follows:

• Vasopressin V2-Receptor Antagonism: Tolvaptan operates by blocking the binding of vasopressin, an antidiuretic hormone, to V2 receptors in the kidney. Vasopressin is a hormone that typically helps to regulate water balance in the body.

• Increased Urine Production: By preventing the action of vasopressin on the V2 receptors, Tolvaptan inhibits the absorption of water by the kidney. This leads to an increase in urine production, a process known as aquaresis.

• Elevation of Serum Sodium Concentration: As more water is excreted through urine, the amount of water retained in the body decreases. This reduction in water retention helps to increase the concentration of sodium in the blood, thereby managing hyponatremia.
