(Desmopressin Acetate)

The active ingredient in DDAVP oral tablets is desmopressin, a synthetic form of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin. Its mechanism of action includes reducing the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, helping control excessive urination and thirst in central diabetes insipidus, and supporting nighttime urine control in nocturnal enuresis.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labelling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using DDAVP. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of desmopressin:

Fluid intake must be limited from one hour before taking desmopressin tablets and until at least eight hours after the dose to reduce the risk of water retention and low sodium levels.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and then go back to your regular dosing schedule, but if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and do not double-dose.

This medication should not be used if you have a fever, are vomiting, have diarrhea, or are severely dehydrated.
