Vaprisol (conivaptan hcl injection) is indicated to raise serum sodium in hospitalized patients with euvolemic and hypervolemic hyponatremia.
Important Limitations
Vaprisol (conivaptan hcl injection) has not been shown to be effective for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of heart failure and is not approved for this indication
It has not been established that raising serum sodium with Vaprisol (conivaptan hcl injection) provides a symptomatic benefit to patients.
You need to seek medical advice for the treatment of polydipsea and schizophrenia.
Take care, best wishes!
