Nocdurna is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient desmopressin (as desmopressin acetate). It belongs to a class of drugs known as antidiuretics (also known as vasopressin analogs). It is a synthetic version of vasopressin, a naturally occurring hormone that regulates urine production, and is used to treat nocturia in adults.

Nocturia is a condition characterized by waking up at least two times during the night to urinate. Nocdurna works by reducing the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, thus reducing the frequency of urination during the night.

Nocdurna comes in an orally disintegrating tablet form to be taken by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 2 to 3 times a day. To take the medication, remove the tablet from the packaging with dry hands and place it under the tongue. Leave the tablet under your tongue until it dissolves, without chewing or swallowing the tablet whole.

The dosage and frequency of Nocdurna may vary based on the patient’s medical condition and response to treatment.

  • For the treatment of diabetes insipidus, the medication is usually taken by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 2 to 3 times a day.
  • For the treatment of nighttime urination, the medication is usually taken by mouth once a day at bedtime. Patients should limit their fluid intake, especially 1 hour before taking the medication until 8 hours after the dose.
  • For the treatment of bedwetting, the medication is usually taken once a day, 1 hour before bedtime. In children, fluid intake should be limited after dinner, especially 1 hour before bedtime until the next morning, or at least 8 hours after the dose. If the child wakes up during the night, the amount of fluid they drink should be limited.

Limit fluid intake while taking Nocdurna, and patients should consult their doctor for specific details. It should be taken regularly at the same time(s) each day to get the most benefit from it. Patients should not take more Nocdurna or take it more often than prescribed by their doctor. If patients find that they are drinking more fluids than directed, they should tell their doctor right away.
