Desmopressin 0.1mg Tablets
SKU GME130
Product Introduction
Desmopressin 0.1mg is a synthetic vasopressin analogue used for diabetes insipidus and bed-wetting, and in some formulations for selected bleeding-disorder indications. It helps reduce excessive urination by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, which can reduce thirst, night-time urination, and urine volume. A key safety risk is low blood sodium, especially if too much fluid is taken.
How to use
Take Desmopressin 0.1mg exactly as advised. Follow the fluid-intake instructions carefully, especially around the dose and overnight use.
How it works
Desmopressin acts like vasopressin, helping the kidneys reabsorb more water and produce less urine.
