Resodim 30 Tablet 4's

Resodim 30 Tablet 4's belongs to a group of medicines called vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist used to treat hyponatremia (low levels of sodium) in patients with heart failure, liver disease and hormonal imbalances such as Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH). Additionally, Resodim 30 Tablet 4's is also used to treat autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
 
Resodim 30 Tablet 4's contains ‘tolvaptan’ that works by blocking the effect of vasopressin, resulting in decreased water reabsorption, a net increase in free water excretion (aquaresis) and an increase in serum sodium concentrations. This decrease in free water is not associated with an increased excretion of sodium or potassium ions, the increase in serum sodium concentration is solely a result of  increased urine production
 
You are advised to take Resodim 30 Tablet 4's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as dizziness, headache, dry mouth, fatigue, diarrhoea, thirst and increased urge to urinate.

Besides this, Resodim 30 Tablet 4's is also used to treat autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Resodim 30 Tablet 4's works by blocking the effect of vasopressin, a hormone which is involved in the formation of cysts in ADPKD patients. By blocking the effect of vasopressin, Resodim 30 Tablet 4's slows down the development of cysts in kidneys and reduces the symptoms of the disease. Resodim 30 Tablet 4's antagonises the effect of vasopressin, this results in an increase in free water clearance and decreases urine osmolality due to increased urinary excretion, thereby increases serum sodium concentrations.
