A method for treating diseases with
arginine vasopressin or its analogues is provided, which reduces the risk of
hyponatremia.Specifically, the present invention relates to the novel observation that subjects receiving
terlipressin and
gabapentin or
pregabalin in combination have a
high incidence of severe
hyponatremia.The method of the present invention includes either removing subjects receiving
gabapentin,
gabapentin analogues, gabapentinoids, and other drugs known to cause
hyponatremia from
arginine vasopressin or its analogues treatment, or reducing the
dose of gabapentin, gabapentin analogues, gabapentinoids, and other drugs known to cause hyponatremia to the subject before administering
arginine vasopressin or its analogues, or stopping the administration of gabapentin, gabapentin analogues, gabapentinoids, and other drugs known to cause hyponatremia during the administration of arginine vasopressin or its analogues, or reducing the
dose of arginine vasopressin or its analogues.
