DDAVP

 


Why is this drug prescribed? 

This drug is prescribed for bed-wetting (eneuresis).


How this medication works? 


The medication works by reducing the amount of urine the body makes; therefore, the bladder is able to hold this smaller amount. If your child drinks a lot of fluids in the evening, the medicine probably won't work. You need to limit your child's fluids after dinner, especially caffeine, carbonation and citrus. Make sure your child empties his or her bladder just prior to bedtime. If you have further questions or concerns, please give us a call. 


How should it be used?


Start with one spray in each nostril every night at bedtime. Keep track of DRY nights on a calendar.

Adjust medication doseage as suggested by us. This medication is also available in tablet form if it more convenient for your child to swallow.
