It is part of a group of medicines called vasopressin V2 receptor antagonists. In addition, these tablets are also used to treat a specific kidney disease called autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).

This tablet has a medicine called ‘tolvaptan’ that works by stopping vasopressin from working. This makes the body get rid of more water and increases the amount of sodium in the blood.
