WHAT TOLVAPTAN ACCORD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tolvaptan Accord, which contains the active substance tolvaptan,
belongs to a group of medicines
called vasopressin antagonists. Vasopressin is a hormone that helps
prevent the loss of water from the
body by reducing urine output. Antagonist means that it prevents
vasopressin having its effect on
water retention. This leads to a reduction in the amount of water in
the body by increasing urine
production and as a result it increases the level or concentration of
sodium in your blood.
Tolvaptan Accord is used to treat low serum sodium levels in adults.
You have been prescribed this
medicine because you have a lowered sodium level in your blood as a
result of a disease called
“syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion” (SIADH)
where the kidneys retain too
much water. This disease causes an inappropriate production of the
hormone vasopressin which has
caused the sodium levels in your blood to get too low (hyponatremia).
That can lead to difficulties in
concentration and memory,

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Due to the need for a dose titration phase with close monitoring of
serum sodium and volume status
(see section 4.4), treatment with tolvaptan has to be initiated in
hospital.
Posology
Tolvaptan has to be initiated at a dose of 15 mg once daily. The dose
may be increased to a maximum
of 60 mg once daily as tolerated to achieve the desired level of serum
sodium.
For patients at risk of overly rapid correction of sodium e.g.,
patients with oncological conditions, very
low baseline serum
