Desmopressin

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Desmopressin (dDAVP) is a synthetic hormone used to treat conditions that involve excessive urination, such as nocturia, diabetes insipidus, and primary nocturnal enuresis. It also helps treat mild classical hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease for minor surgeries. Desmopressin is an improved version of the naturally occurring hormone vasopressin, and it was approved by the FDA in 2018. It is available in a variety of forms, including intranasal solution, intravenous solution, oral tablets, and sublingual tablets.

Effectiveness

How Ddavp Affects Patients

Desmopressin is a drug that helps the body retain water by mimicking the action of a natural hormone, anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). It is more effective than ADH at increasing the levels of factor VIII in patients with hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease. Desmopressin does not increase blood pressure like some other drugs, and is much less effective when taken as a nasal spray than as an injection.

How Ddavp works in the body

When desmopressin binds to V2 receptors in the kidneys, it causes cells in the distal tubule and collecting ducts to insert water channels, called aquaporins, into the membrane. This increases the permeability of the membrane to water.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Ddavp is contingent upon the diagnosed malady, including Minor Surgical Procedures, Pituitary Gland and Surgery, Hemophilia A. The portion of dosage is contingent upon the approach of delivery featured in the table beneath.

Ddavp Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Taking too much desmopressin can cause a low level of sodium, or hyponatremia. Symptoms of this include seizures, disorientation, confusion, drowsiness, or a continuing headache, as well as an irregular heartbeat and swelling. If you think you have taken too much desmopressin, lower the dose or stop taking it. Have your sodium levels checked by a doctor, and start any necessary treatment.

This treatment has been essential for me. I have a condition called panhypopituitarism, which means that my pituitary gland was removed. This medication helps me to control my urine flow and has literally saved my life.

Ddavp for Diabetes Insipidus

After being diagnosed with DI, I tried the nasal spray for a year. But I wasn't convinced that it always worked, so I switched to tablets. After several changes in dosage, I feel like we've finally got it right. This medicine has honestly changed my life--I felt like I had gotten my life back. However, now I am wondering if it is changing my mood because I am feeling depressed recently.

Despite trying a number of things, my son was still wetting the bed every single night. Finally, we tried this medication and it has not worked at all. We're going to try doubling the dosage tonight and see if that makes any difference. Will update soon.

Ddavp for Diabetes Insipidus

My daughter has been using this treatment for more than two years with great success. She uses the nasal spray, one squirt each night. However, I have noticed that she has gained weight in the last two years and I'm not sure if it's from the medicine or not. Are there any other alternatives to bedwetting than desmopressin?

Patient Q&A Section about ddavp

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is DDAVP given for?

"DDAVP is used to help stop bleeding in patients with von Willebrand's disease or mild hemophilia A by causing the release of von Willebrand's antigen from the platelets and the cells that line the blood vessels where it is stored."

Answered by AI

What is the difference between desmopressin and DDAVP?

"This medication is used to treat diabetes insipidus, bedwetting, hemophilia A, von Willebrand disease, and high blood urea levels."

Answered by AI

What is DDAVP in diabetes insipidus?

"Desmopressin is a synthetic form of vasopressin that helps decrease the amount of urine made by working on the kidneys."

Answered by AI

How does DDAVP work for bleeding?

"DDAVP works by increasing the levels of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor in the blood, which typically last for 12 to 24 hours. This effect is usually enough to control minor bleeding and to prevent bleeding during minor operations, such as dentistry."

Timed Awakening for Bedwetting

6 - 17
All Sexes
Los Angeles, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of nightly timed awakening in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in children aged 6-17. The main questions it aims to: * Determine feasibility of nightly timed awakenings * Determine the role, if any, of comorbidities on resolution of enuresis * Determine incidence of daytime accidents * Obtain patient and parental satisfaction scores Researchers will compare a control group to treatment groups to see if there is any impact on nocturnal enuresis. Participants will be woken up by parents in the middle of the night to use the restroom. In addition, participants will receive 30 minute psychotherapy sessions using telehealth.

Norethindrone Acetate-Ethinyl Estradiol for Oxytocin Deficiency

18 - 65
All Sexes
Boston, MA

This is an open-label, pilot study, to characterize oxytocin response to a single dose of oral Estrogen-progestin in patients with arginine-vasopressin deficiency compared to healthy controls. The association between oxytocin levels and measures of psychopathology (i.e., anxiety and depression) and quality of life across groups will be examined. We hypothesize that: 1. Salivary and blood oxytocin response to Estrogen-progestin will be lower in arginine-vasopressin deficiency compared to healthy control. 2. Lower salivary and blood oxytocin levels will be associated with more severe symptoms of anxiety, depression, and social emotional difficulties as well as lower quality of life.

TENS for Bedwetting

5 - 17
All Sexes
Albany, NY

Children referred to pediatric urology clinic for primary nocturnal enuresis will be screened for enrollment. Patients who fail will next be offered therapy with a bedwetting alarm device or a TENS unit as an alternative, and those who chose TENS therapy will be included in the study.The patients will be randomized into two groups of 35 patients each.Group 1 will be the high pulse width set at 260us. Group 2 will be the low pulse width set at 50us. The patients will be provided with a TENS unit and electrode pads and caretakers instructed on how to use the apparatus. The child's TENS unit will be set at a pulse width determined by randomization, frequency of 10Hz, and an intensity to be determined in the office based upon when the child feels sensitive to the TENS unit. The child will be randomized and will place the electrodes along the posterior tibial nerve on the medial ankle each night before bed time for 30 minutes for a total of 30 days. Diaries including nighttime incontinence episodes and a "wet sheet" scale (dry, damp, wet, soaked) will be recorded, along with any adverse reactions to the TENS unit. Patients will be followed up after one month of TENS with evaluation including the Bowel \& Bladder Questionnaire (BBQ), a validated tool for measuring symptoms in children with voiding dysfunction \[6\]; this questionnaire will be filled out prior to starting TENS treatment in order to compare the effect of treatment. The data will be collected at different time points (baseline and after 1 month of treatment) for each group by itself and the groups compared against each other using statistical analysis.
