Samsca Helps Treat the Following Conditions:

Hyponatremia

Hyponatremia is a condition where patients have low levels of sodium in the blood. Patients with hyponatremia have less than 135 milliequivalents of sodium per liter of blood. This condition may be caused by severe dehydration or by more serious medical conditions like kidney disease, liver disease, and congestive heart failure. Symptoms of hyponatremia include weakness, fatigue, irritability, confusion, and muscle cramps.

Samsca Active Ingredient

Generic Samsca Alternative: Samsca

Samsca contains the active ingredient tolvaptan which belongs to a class of drugs known as vasopressin receptor antagonists. These drugs increase the amount of urine produced by the body (helping patients expel extra water), and regulate levels of salt in the blood.

General Drug Information

What is Samsca and What Is It Used For?

Samsca is prescribed to patients with low levels of sodium in the blood – an imbalance which develops as a result of heart failure or certain hormonal problems. Samsca increases the production of urine which helps to slowly increase blood sodium levels.

Patients should be aware that different brands of Samsca have different uses. Patients should not change brands of Samsca unless directed to do so by their doctor.

Usage and Application

Before sourcing Samsca online, please read the medication guide prescribed by your doctor or pharmacist.

Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Most patients are usually prescribed one oral dose per day, with or without food. Dosage depends on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not take this medication for longer than 30 days. Patients should drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration unless told otherwise by their doctor.

Samsca should be taken regularly in order for patients to get the most benefit from it. To help patients remember, the medication should be taken at the same time each day.

Patients should not stop and restart Samsca on their own. This can only happen in a hospital setting to prevent major risks. It is vital to immediately inform the treating physician in the event Samsca is stopped suddenly.

Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while using this product, as it can increase the risk of side effects. For more details, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Considerations Before Taking Samsca

If you shop for Samsca online, please note that you may encounter the drug under its generic name: tolvaptan.

Before starting treatment, patients need to discuss the possibility of allergic reactions to Samsca.

Discuss the patient’s medical history – especially related to diabetes, liver disease, and anuria – with a physician. Regular alcohol use or abuse should also be reported.

Patients must drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Before starting treatment, patients should inform their doctor if they are unable to drink fluids normally or if they cannot feel thirst.

In rare cases, Samsca may increase blood sugar levels, which can worsen diabetic symptoms. Diabetic patients should check their blood sugar regularly and share the results with their doctor. Patients may need to have their diabetes medication, exercise program, or diet adjusted.

Patients preparing for surgery or certain dental procedures should inform their doctor or dentist about all medicines, supplements, and herbal products they are taking.

During pregnancy, Samsca should only be used when clearly needed. Pregnant women should discuss the risks and benefits of Samsca treatment with their doctor.

It is not known whether Samsca passes into breast milk. Mothers should consult their doctor before breastfeeding.

Delayed and Omitted Doses

Patients who miss a dose of Samsca should take it as soon as they remember. If this happens near the time of the next dose, patients should skip the missed dose and proceed as usual. Patients should not double their dose to catch up.

Other Medications and Samsca

Drug interactions may change the way Samsca works, increasing the risk of side effects. Before starting treatment, patients need to discuss the full list of medications and supplements they are taking with their doctor.
