托伐普坦片有哪些注意事项？

Heart failure is one of the common clinical types of cardiovascular disease. It belongs to the end stage of cardiovascular disease. It is mainly caused by ventricular ejection function and filling dysfunction due to various reasons. Effective treatment measures need to be taken in time to control the progression of the disease. In the past, anti-heart failure drugs were often used clinically, but the efficacy was not good. It is a new type of diuretic that can reduce cardiac load and improve water and sodium retention. However, when used alone in the treatment of heart failure, the efficacy is not ideal. Bumetanide is a new type of diuretic with the characteristics of low toxicity, quick effect and high efficiency. It can reduce left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and improve cardiac function. So, what are the precautions for tolvaptan tablets?

Precautions for taking Tolvaptan:

Correcting serum concentrations of hyponatremia too quickly (>12 mEq/L/24 hours) carries the risk of developing osmotic demyelination syndrome, which can cause dysarthria, mutism, dysphagia, somnolence, affective changes, spastic quadriplegia, seizures, coma, and death. For patients prone to osmotic demyelination such as severe malnutrition, alcoholism, and advanced liver disease, it is recommended to slow down the correction of serum sodium.

Still need to pay attention

The editor of Medical Companion Travel would like to remind everyone that if you choose to use Tolvaptan tablets, you must follow the doctor's instructions and take the medication strictly in accordance with the doctor's instructions. At present, due to the development of the Internet, there is a lot of unfounded information, which makes many patients think that the efficacy can be improved by increasing the dose of drugs, or that side effects can be avoided by reducing the dose of drugs. These are wrong, and patients are expected to use drugs rationally.
