Desmopressin

Desmopressin is a synthetic medication that mimics a natural hormone in your body called vasopressin. It helps regulate water balance and is primarily used to treat conditions like diabetes insipidus, where the body struggles to retain water. Desmopressin is also used to manage bedwetting in children and can aid in controlling bleeding in certain bleeding disorders by increasing blood clotting factors. It is typically taken as a nasal spray or tablet. By promoting water retention, Desmopressin helps manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those with specific health issues.
