A retrospective study on tolvaptan prescription in clinical practice in patients with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) using the Japanese claims... by Daisuke Hagiwara, Miyuki Matsukawa, Junko Tasaki, Yumiko Nakamura, Hiroshi Arima

“…In both treatment groups of 3.75 and 7.5 mg initial doses, the serum sodium concentration was elevated from the second day of treatment and reached 135 mEq/L on the fourth day, which was maintained for 2 weeks. Rapid correction of hyponatremia (&gt;10 mEq/L increase in serum sodium concentration over 1 day or &gt;18 mEq/L increase over 2 days) occurred in 26.7% patients with a 7.5 mg initial dose (4 of 15 patients) but not in the patients with a 3.75 mg initial dose (n = 16), suggesting that an initial dose of 3.75 mg of tolvaptan may be a better choice for the safe and proper correction of hyponatremia.…”
