Samsca (Tolvaptan) is a prescription medicine used to treat hyponatremia (low levels of sodium or salt in your blood) in patients with heart failure, and Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH). Tolvaptan beongs to a class of drugs called vasopressin receptor antagonists. It works by increasing the amount of urine you make, causing your body to get rid of extra water. This helps to slowly increase to normal levels of sodium (salt) in the blood.
