DDAVP SPRAY (DESMOPRESSIN SPRAY)

DDAVP Spray is for Treatment of Diabetes Insipidus

Your doctor may prescribe DDAVP Spray or generic Desmopressin Spray if you have been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, which is different from diabetes mellitus. Diabetes insipidus occurs when your body cannot regulate your fluids because of insufficient vasopressin levels so you lose water from your body rapidly in the form of dilute urine. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Easy Dosing for Children and Adults

The dosage of DDAVP Spray will depend on your doctor’s recommendations; each dose from the spray pump delivers 0.1 ml (10mcg) intranasally. This is much easier than trying to have your child swallow a pill and for some adults that have difficulties will oral meds.

DDAVP Spray or generic Desmopressin Spray contains a synthetic version of vasopressin, an anti-diuretic hormone that occurs naturally in your body. DDAVP Spray supplements your vasopressin hormone so you can retain fluid volume and help your kidneys to concentrate the urine. The DDAVP Spray is delivered nasally so it is absorbed quicker than the oral form that has to go through your stomach first. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Conditions Treated by DDAVP Spray

Diabetes insipidus may be caused by damage to your hypothalamus or pituitary gland, resulting from a tumor, surgery, an infection, hereditary, a head injury, or from a loss of blood to the gland. This is an uncommon disorder that results in your body not being able to produce, store, and release the vasopressin hormone. DDAVP Spray is a treatment for the symptoms of increased thirst and urination, but it is not a cure.

DDAVP Spray is also a popular medication prescribed to children seven years and older to treat bed-wetting. The spray is much easier to administer to children than having them swallow a pill. Taking this hormone reduces the amount of urine produced so there are fewer accidents through the night. Bed-wetting or nocturia may be caused by a small bladder, infection, medication, pregnancy, or being a deep sleeper.

As part of the aging process, some may find they have to get up several times in the night to relieve their bladder. Talk with a doctor or pediatrician about the use of DDAVP Spray or generic Desmopressin Spray for bed-wetting once other medical reasons have been ruled out.

Before You Use DDAVP Spray

Talk to your doctor about using DDAVP Spray if you are also taking other Rx medicine, OTC drugs, and any herbal or vitamin supplements. Some drugs can cause a negative interaction or change how they will work in your body. Discuss your medical history so your doctor can decide if taking DDAVP Spray is safe for you to use.

Proper Use of DDAVP Spray

Check with your doctor to be certain DDAVP Spray is safe to use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or are breast feeding. DDAVP Spray may be ineffective if you have nasal scarring or inflammation that can limit the absorption of the drug. DDAVP Spray is for intranasal use only.
