Premier Pharmacy Services can Supply Patients Access to this Aquaretic for the Treatment of Hyponatremia

BALDWIN PARK, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2019 / Since 2015, Premier Pharmacy Services has been part of a pharmacy network, designed by Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Otsuka) to distribute SAMSCA® (tolvaptan). This medication is used to treat patients diagnosed with hyponatremia - a condition characterized by excessively low sodium levels in the blood. Premier Pharmacy Services is part of a limited network of pharmacies providing nationwide access to this medication.

Hyponatremia occurs in the United States in approximately 3-6 million people. Hyponatremia is a condition in which there is an excess of body water relative to body sodium (Defined as serum sodium concentration < 135 mEq/L). Hyponatremia is categorized into three main categories; hypervolemic, euvolemic, and hypovolemic.

SAMSCA® (tolvaptan) is the first-and-only oral vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist that increases serum sodium concentration through free water clearance. SAMSCA® (tolvaptan) is indicated for the treatment of clinically significant hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia (serum sodium < 125 mEq/L or less marked hyponatremia that is symptomatic and has resisted correction with fluid restriction), including patients with Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH), heart failure, and cirrhosis. In healthy subjects, after a single 60 mg dose of SAMSCA®, free water clearance and serum sodium increase occurred within 2 to 4 hours post-dose.

“We are ecstatic to offer SAMSCA® as an extraordinary treatment to patients impacted by hyponatremia” said Stephen Samuel, CEO at Premier Pharmacy Services. “With our outstanding patient-focused customer service team, Premier Pharmacy Services works diligently to ensure our patients receive advanced therapy solutions while taking pride in our timely and expedited deliveries.”
