Tolvaptan Forums

I'm trying to find out the cost of one pill of samsca (tolvatan). My family member is on it for hyponaturemia & has cancer as well. I'm not happy with the rehab this person is in as a result of the cost of this med. ## cost is $300 per day-- this is usual with all new drugs -- price declines as it is produced ## The price, of course, can vary depending on where the medication is obtained, it will not always be exactly the same at all pharmacies or care facilities, however most drugs are quite expensive. The main use of this drug is to treat, as you said, those low blood sodium levels. You may wish to ask if there are any alternative treatment options available. There isn't a lot of information available on this medication, but you can read the little there is here: I wis...

A shaggy dog organ recital. My kidneys! The wonders of modern medicine! I have a hereditary disease called polycystic kidney disease. Interesting! I inherited it from either my mother or father and my daughters have a 50% chance of acquiring it. No evidence they do. It results in the growth of cysts on the kidneys until the number and size of them shuts down the kidneys, necessitating dialysis and/or transplants. Years ago I checked in with my family doctor and asked if I was fit enough to backpack across the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. He ordered blood tests and was alarmed by my creatinine reading. It was quite elevated. He suspected that it may be the meds I was taking and I quit them and was retested in a week and found it came down to an acceptable level though still high. He said whe...

My mother's sodium levels are below normal levels, so the Dr prescribed one tab twice daily. As this is very costly, can you suggest an alternative medicine? ## Hi, Tapati! I'm very sorry to hear about your mother's problem. Do they know what's caused her sodium to drop so low? There are other similar medications available, but I am not sure which ones are on the market in the India. The best suggestion I can make would be to ask her doctor, or a pharmacist/chemist. They should be able to help you find a cheaper option, if there is one there. It does need to be treated, or this condition may result in permanent damage.

How do you get this medication? I cannot locate it. ## samsca can be purchased -- but daily treatment is $300 ## Tolvaptan is used to treat several conditions, such as Hyponatremia and congestive heart failure. It is available by prescription only. The price of treatment may vary, depending on where you obtain the drug, but from what I've heard, it is quite expensive. You can read more about this medication here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## IT CAN BE PURCHASED. YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK OUTSIDE THE US FOR CHEAPER RATES.. TRUST ME ITS OUT THERE. ## Can you please help me find it as well? I haven't been able to find it for months now. ## Are you From Iran?

I've been prescribed Tolvaptan. I'm a United States citizen and it is too expensive here. I'm aware of all the generic brands circulating in India (Hyponat-O, Resodim, Tolsama, Tolvat, etc.) Is there any way for me to get these drugs delivered to the United States? Again, I have a prescription, I just cannot afford Samsca in the US. Can someone out there point me in the right direction?

Can you please tell me where I can get tolvaptan.the address in India please. ## call me on 98{edited for privacy} you can get it in a very less price 99 Rs. per tab for 15 mg ## My father's sodium level was 120. he was suffering from old CVA.Taking tolvat 15 mg once daily for three days as prescribed by my doctor will help to control the sodium level for how many days? ## Where can I find Tolvat in India and what is the price?

If the doctor is prescribing Tolvaptan molecule, then you can buy Hyponat O tablet which also contains the same molecule and is the cheapest drug available with no compromise in quality as it is manufactured by Zydus. It cost about Rs. 29 for a tablet

Tolvaptan pastiglie per uso personale. Per curare iponatremia. ## Sono anni che cerco questo farmaco prodotto dalla Otsuka, ma ne' in Italia, ne' in Inghilterra, ne' in Germania si trova e nemmeno in Italia. Com'e' possibile che non sia ancora in vendita dal momento che e' stato approvato nell'agosto dell'anno scorso? Grazie ## Il farmaco samsca dell'Otsuka risulta introvabile eppure e' stato approvato l'anno scorso. Come mai non viene ancora dispensato ne' direttamente agli ammalati ne' tramite gli Ospedali che qui a Trieste non conoscono nemmeno l'esistenza. Come mai a distanza di un anno dalla sua approvazione i medici d'Italia non formulano una richiesta congiunta al fine di ottenere questo farmaco innovativo per i loro mal...

I have someone in India asking for this drug since his father is terminally ill from a kidney disease (I am in US). The doctor in a well known hospital there asked to find out if they can buy from somewhere since the alternatives are not working for the patient. He suggested to get from Japan, but they don't have anyone there to contact. Can someone suggest how I can buy this drug in US (I know it has been approved here now), and do I need to consult a doctor to get a prescription? Will he prescribe, even though the patient is in India? Also, can I just get prescription from India and buy online? If not use the prescription (and diagnosis and other documents) to contact a doctor here for more help. Please give some suggestions. Thanks. ## No, no US doctor will provide a prescription...

My daughter 3year old, she is edicted for bottel feeding still ,is this is good or bad? ## Of course it is bad for her. Especially her teeth. It is easier for you, that is why she is still on it. Grin and bear it and take it away, she will get over it. (ps on Super Nanny the kids have a ceremony to give away all their binkys to the binky fairy and they get a prize).

My son has pkd, and was been told about a new drug called Tolvaptan. Please send me any info you have on this medication. Thank you! ## I also have pkd and would be interested in trying this drug. Is it being sold yet? ## Tolvaptan hasn't been FDA approved yet. Phase 3 clinical trials are beginning. Check the PKD Foundation website for more info/clinical trials. The Mayo Clinic is one of several centers participating in the trial. ## Also, please check the PKD charity website. Tolvaptan is marketed by Otsuka Pharmeceuticals, another possible source of info. ## Yes, unfortunately, until it passes the rigorous testing for the FDA, it will not be available and you will have to stick with other treatment options.
