My father had a brain tumor removed and now has to take a nasal spray called Desmopressin. His endocranologist only wants him to use it one time a day, but the problem is he goes to the bathroom sometimes every 15 minutes!!!! He is also on 1/2 mg of Dexamethasone and that's part of the problem. Sometimes he takes two puffs a day but the doctor doesn't want him to do that daily.
There is a drug called Desmopressin (DDAVP) it reduces urine production at night. But drinking too much liquid with the medication can cause problems, and Desmopressin should be avoided if you have symptoms such as a fever, diarrhea or nausea. Be sure to carefully follow instructions for using this drug.
Desmopressin is given orally as a tablet and is only for patients over 5 years old.
t mention in your question what medication you were taking. Commonly central DI is treated with desmopressin. Desmopressin works by limiting the amount of water passed in the urine.

DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet. Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men). Check with your urologist about the possibility of this treatment. Best of luck.
Can a open herpes sore "drip" herpes fluid ? Say I have a open sore can herpes fluid drip from the sore down my leg past my shorts on the couch?
Also is a sore still contagious during the scabbing and falling off period ? If not when is it most contagious then?
If still the symptoms persist then medical treatment with desmopressin, imipramine and anticholinergics can be tried.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
5 hours before bedtime and was put on desmopressin .2mg nightly over the last year with no success. Her primary doctor added another medication and said to check back in 3 months. Her primary physician said that we should hold back on going to see a urologist. I was wondering if you can give me advise in what to do. HOW do you go about taking to your doctor and demanding a referral to a a specialist as a urologist with out being mean?
I have had the most annoying nasal sinus drip for 3 weeks now! I tried the salt water drops, the netti pot but nothing works! I wish i can just blow it all out but it just drips from jy sinus, straight down my throat.. (sorry if its tmi) Any suggestions??
**PLEASE READ** I've suffered for almost 2 decades with chronic post nasal drip and bad breath because of it. I'm currently 26 now and the last 2 weeks I went on an anti candida diet where I did not consume sugars/carbohydrates to kill off excess yeast. I ate lots of raw garlic with my foods.
That still didn't help with the post nasal drip or stinky mucus. I read more on this site and someone wrote about grape fruit seed extract mixed in with a saline spray...
The other day I went into a massage parlor. The massage was sensual, although not sexual. I had no oral, anal, vaginal intercourse or a handjob.
The women massaged me in a sensual way and I became erect. I had on y-fronts at the time and my penis came outside of shorts. The women had on a pair of nylon like pants, I don't know if she had underwear on underneath. She never grinded me or anything, but I suddenly felt a wet drop on my hand when she was near me.
Can anyone tell me how long it takes for the crtisone drip to start working and easing pain?
Also what can one do to get rid of the terrible bloating in the stomach? I look like a big fat pig ready for roasting and is very uncomfortable.
No runny nose, but sometimes when I cough I bring up mucus but not all the time.. Seem I got nasal drip, please tell me how to cure it for good . I take allegra but that is not helping.
I have seen urologists, done physical therapy, taken desmopressin, set alarms to wake up in the night, cut back my liquid intake in the evenings, had my bladder checked for abnormalities (there are none), used moisture-sensitive alarms, and attempted to train myself to make sure that I am fully awake when I get up in the night to urinate.
Sadly, none of these solutions have worked. People say that bedwetting is a problem that people grow out of, but I am starting to believe that I never will.
