Ddavp dosing enuresis
Common Questions and Answers about Ddavp dosing enuresis
ddavp
she will have 4 packets of oatmeal and a glass of milk in the am. Another possible symptom is nocturnal enuresis. She is on DDAVP at night .05 mg X approx. 4 months. If I remember to wake her up around 2am she may be dry, before the DDAVP she was going through 2 goodnights diapers a night... if I didn't change it midway she and the bed would be completely soaked.
Anyway, her Thyroid was hyperactive, and she is allergic to Milk and Eggs (she did have hives when we were at the Dr).
How do you wean off the medicine DDAVP? I've been taking this medicine for many years only to find out my tests say I don't need it (I had small injury to pituitary in brain). Unfortunately I find it almost impossible to wean off because it makes you go to the bathroom ALOT after the medicine ware's off! since it's an anti diuretic/water retaining pill! Confusing and tricky.
One of the ways we would try to determine this was by prescribing DDAVP (if there were not any issues that would prevent using it). Desmopressin (trade names: 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).
I have a 10 y.o. girl who has primary enuresis and wets her bed nightly, has seen a urologist (no medical conditions), taken meds and used an alarm without success on numerous occasions. We are all frustrated and her self esteem is fragile. She has never had a sleepover. She is a deep sleeper and we know it is a sleep disorder. The programs offered are cost prohibited. Does anyone have some guidance, suggestions? The Malem multi sound and vibratory alarm doesn't wake her.
My question is I have asked her endocrinologist to prescribe DDAVP for her to take during several camps she has this summer. He will not because of a chance she could have a seizure. I can't remember the exact reason but it does have to do with her diabetes and how DDAVP interact in a diabetic's body. He said the chance is very low, but possible. Could you give me your thoughts on a Type 1 diabetic using DDAVP.
It is important that you maintain equanimity about this. Nocturnal enuresis is not something that is within a child's control. If you are negative and critical, your daughter will take that in and think of herself as defective in some way. Nocturnal enuresis occurs with a small percentage of children her age and it will eventually stop. Try to be patient, understanding and supportive.
Hi,
By age 11, most boys have become fully continent. Enuresis, or occasional incontinence like in your son may persist longer in a few kids. Most outgrow this.
But if it bothers you, pl seek an appointment of a urologist, as wait-and-watch advise will just not help ease yor anxiety.
All the best.
I am a occupational therapy student and have a case study on an 8 year old boy who has developed enuresis at night, he has started to soil himself, as a result is being bullied at school, he is reluctant to go to school and complains of physical symptoms stomach ache and head ache
his mother died at the age of five, his dad has recently started a new relationship
please can you help, give any suggestions as to why he may being doing these things
We have a 7 year old colllie just diagnosed with Diabetes Insipetes (nephrogenic). Vet recommends treatment with ddavp eye drop. All the information we can find says that this is "very expensive". Can you give us a ballpark of what this actually means for annual cost of care? What are the implications of leaving this untreated if she has on going access to fresh clean water?
What follows is an answer I recently provided for another question that I believe is also applicable in this case. Many children have problem with day-time enuresis. The issue is often the case that they really aren’t aware of their need to use the toilet, so this is no indication at all of your son being lazy. It’s something that he needs help with so that he’s better able to recognize when he has to go.
s also suffering with nocturnal enuresis which every night compared to perhaps once a week a couple of years ago. We are trying to get an appointment with a neurologis again but the appointments are not available until 2 to 3 months from now. Has anyone experienced anything similar, any advice?
Nocturnal enuresis has nothing to do with toilet training in the sense that it applies during the day. A certain percentage of children (approx. 5-10% depending on age) remain enuretic at night even when they are trained during the day. You should not be waking her up - there is no point. Over time this will resolve itself, with you really doing nothing. This depends more on development than on anything you do or do not do.
You might consider an enuresis alarm that will waken you up as soon as you start to wet. It may train you then to wake up BEFORE you start to wet. And of course radically reduce your fluid intake for 4 hours before you go to bed.
Not that I am an expert on this subject but I wet the bed when I was younger and didn't stop until I was a teenager. I was never great at school but somehow managed to scoot by unnoticed. After high school graduation I went to a community college until my grades were good enough for exceptance into a large university- which I graduated from and went on to have a fufilling career and a wonderful family. The reason I'm writing this is because things do turn around.
This is very unusual behavior for a child her age, not so much for the nocturnal enuresis (about 5%-7% of children are still wet at night at that age), but because of the daytime enuresis. I would not automatically think of this as a psychological issue, though it could be. Has she been evaluated by a pediatric urologist?
The tumor was germinoma. Yes u are right it was the optic nerve. I don't know for sure if my pituitary gland still functions I take ddavp, I also took growth hormones in the past and I take l cortef. But I'm not sure. Thanks so much I have a docs visit soon and Ill ask him more about my tumor. Thanks again for your help. And about the scar tissue he wants another MRI and then him and other docs will decide to do a biopsy or something els.

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.
I have used a nasal spray (DDAVP) for three weeks, but the bleeding did not stop. I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding. I have also tried a estrogen pill I was prescribed, but it has not helped.
I know I will have light bleeding on the Depo Provera, but is it normal to be bleeding for 37 days?
