DDAVP is a tablet containing desmopressin 200mcg, a vasopressin analogue used in the management of diabetes insipidus, bedwetting and nocturnal enuresis. It is made by Ferring Pharmaceuticals and is also known as Desmomelt and Desmotabs.
Desmopressin increases water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing urine volume and frequency. Tablets act within 30 to 60 minutes and the effect lasts 8 to 12 hours. Taking in more fluid than the body needs while urine output is limited can cause water intoxication with hyponatraemia, a low blood sodium that can be fatal unless properly diagnosed and treated. Severe headache or confusion should be reported. Desmopressin is not suitable for people with heart failure, habitual polydipsia, hyponatraemia or hypersensitivity to desmopressin, and blood sodium needs closer monitoring with medicines such as tricyclic antidepressants and carbamazepine.
