Desmopressin

Desmopressin (trade names: DDAVP, DesmoMelt, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, intravenously, or as an oral or sublingual tablet. Doctors prescribe desmopressin most frequently for treatment of diabetes insipidus, bedwetting, or nocturia.
