WHAT JINARC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Jinarc contains the active substance tolvaptan which blocks the effect
of vasopressin, a hormone
involved in the formation of cysts in the kidneys of ADPKD patients.
By blocking the effect of
vasopressin, Jinarc slows the development of kidney cysts in patients
with ADPKD, reduces symptoms
of the disease and increases urine production.
Jinarc is a medicine used to treat a disease called “autosomal
dominant polycystic kidney disease”
(ADPKD). This disease causes growth of fluid-filled cysts in the
kidneys, which put pressure on
surrounding tissues and reduce kidney function, possibly leading to
kidney failure. Jinarc is used to treat
ADPKD in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 1 to 4 with
evidence of rapidly progressing
disease.
