Tolvat 30 Tablet, which contains Tolvaptan as its active ingredient, works by blocking the action of vasopressin (also known as antidiuretic hormone) on the kidneys. Vasopressin normally helps the kidneys retain water, but by inhibiting its effect, Tolvaptan promotes the excretion of free water, a process known as aquaresis, without causing significant loss of electrolytes like sodium.
Tolvat 30 Tablet (Tolvaptan) offers several important benefits, particularly for individuals with conditions that involve fluid imbalances or low sodium levels. One of its primary uses is in the treatment of hyponatremia (low sodium levels), which can occur in conditions such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH).
The most common side effects of Tolvat 30 are
• Increased thirst (polydipsia)
• Frequent urination (polyuria)
• Dry mouth
• Nausea
• Fatigue or weakness
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Loss of appetite
• Constipation
• Elevated liver enzymes (indicating potential liver issues)
Other side effects of Tolvat 30 include
• Liver damage (e.g., jaundice, dark urine, pain in the upper right abdomen)
• Severe dehydration (due to excessive urination)
• Electrolyte imbalances (low sodium or potassium levels)
• Kidney problems (e.g., changes in kidney function, increased creatinine levels)
• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing)
• Hypotension (low blood pressure)
• Rapid weight loss or dehydration symptoms
• Edema (swelling in the legs or feet)
• Abdominal pain

Tolvat 30 Tablet (Tolvaptan) should not be taken by individuals who are allergic to Tolvaptan or any of its components, as this could lead to severe allergic reactions. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe liver problems, such as cirrhosis or liver failure, because Tolvaptan can further impair liver function. Individuals with a history of kidney problems, particularly those with anuria (the inability to produce urine), should avoid Tolvat, as it can worsen kidney function.
Tolvat 30 Tablet (Tolvaptan) should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dosage is one 30 mg tablet taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day, to help remember the dose and maintain consistent levels of the medication in your body. Tolvat 30 can be taken with or without food, and it should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
