DDAVP (active ingredient: desmopressin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Diabetes Insipidus: DDAVP is used for the treatment of central diabetes insipidus, a condition characterized by excessive thirst and urination due to a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
  2. Nocturnal Enuresis: It is also indicated for the management of primary nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) in children aged 6 years and older and in adults who have not responded to other measures.
  3. Hemophilia A and von Willebrand Disease: DDAVP is used to prevent or control bleeding episodes in patients with mild hemophilia A or mild to moderate von Willebrand disease (Type 1), a bleeding disorder.

DDAVP belongs to a class of drugs known as vasopressin analogues, which work by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys and reducing urine production, thereby decreasing thirst and the frequency of urination.

DDAVP (desmopressin) comes in tablet form and is taken orally with a glass of water. The directions on the prescription label should be followed closely, and the medicine should be taken at regular intervals and not more often than directed. Taking the medicine more frequently than prescribed can lead to serious side effects.

The dosage for desmopressin will depend on your medical condition and response to treatment. Taking more desmopressin than prescribed or taking it more often than prescribed can lead to serious side effects, so it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions closely.

Patients should begin taking desmopressin at a dose of 0.05 mg (1/2 of the 0.1 mg tablet) two times a day, and the dose should be adjusted individually to achieve their optimal therapeutic dose. The optimal dosage range is 0.1 mg to 0.8 mg daily, divided into two or three doses depending on the patient’s need for antidiuresis. The total daily dosage can be increased or decreased in the range of 0.1 mg to 1.2 mg, divided into two or three separate doses as needed.
