Medical Therapy

Mild intoxication may remain asymptomatic and require only fluid restriction. In more severe cases, treatment consists of:

  • Diuretics to increase urination, which are most effective for excess blood volume
  • Saline given intravenously to restore sodium electrolyte levels
  • Vasopressin receptor antagonists
