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
