ddavp nasal

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?

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.

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.

I had a friend tell me about DDAVP. Her son has panhypopituitarism. she thought I might be able to use the nasal spray since I only occasionally seem to have problems with it. But I want to be sure of what is causing it before i try a new medication. We buy too much toilet paper.

The medication used for this is called Dessmopressin or DDAVP. It is available in a pill form, nasal spray or injection. There are a few other conditions that can mimic this so it is important to get it ruled in or out. I have this and without medication I am also up every half hour drinking and peeing.i rec that you see a neuro endo to rule this out, your other pituitary hormones, and have a current MRI. It may be as simple as taking a little pill every night to help you to hold onto fluids.

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).

Hello, I'm 26 and I had a non-secreting 3cm by 2cm macro adenoma removed from my pituitary about two years ago. Since then I have had regular MRI scans and Endo appointments. There was a small piece of the tumor left behind but six months ago I had a MRI and it had not grown since the MRI that was done post surgery. I am currently on 50 mcg levothyroxine and my endo told me all my other tests (six months ago also) were normal. Since surgery I have been extremely thirsty and urinating a lot.

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.

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?

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.

I called my endocrinologist who ordered some bloodwork to look at electrolytes which came back normal on the first test, then slightly elevated sodium on the second. Because I was still having clinical symptoms of DI she prescribed DDAVP (0.05mg AM, 0.05mg PM) (pill because I can't do nasal spray, still healing up there). I find the pills work for a period of time and then the symptoms come back (within 5-8 hrs).

ive never went this much during the night..i had to go get on some meds called ddavp to slow it down so i can sleep..

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).

He also mentioned that she might have a missing hormone but more tests need too be done. In the meantime he has prescribed DDAVP, saying that this might help and if it does she will need this drug support for her entire life.

They felt like my body would continue producing urine at night and they perscribed me a medication called DDAVP nasal spray. I am not sure if this is still around but I used this for about two years and then slowly stopped. I didn't do sleepovers much when I was younger. If I did, I would stay awake so that I wouldn't have this issue. It was a bit rough.

ve had to do with the drug DDAVP it is meant to halt an over productive pituitary from making too much urine....than you want to give a tea to produce more urine.??? But it does sound as if you have done your research and seem to know what to do....good luck and keep us informed please....

That seems to be the magic number for some reason. In the meantime, they could put you on a trial of DDAVP (desmopressin) at the very lowest dose, just at night and you can see how you do. They make it in a pill form and a nasal spray. i do better on the pill. But others swear by the spray! Then you can add it to the day as well if you need to. One thing that will help your doc is to measure your input and output for a few days.

Both myself and my 16 year old daughter have been suffering from allergies since early springtime. The biggest complaint we have is nasal congestion. We've tried prescription nasal sprays and over-the-counter meds. such as Loratradine, but to no avail. Unfortunately, the only way we can get a good night's rest is to use nasal spray at bedtime. We both only squirt one spray into each nostril.

Deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps and tumors can also cause persistent nasal congestion. Worms in stool can raise the eosinophil count (a part of the white blood cell count) and thus increase the possibility of nasal congestion. You’ll have to discuss all these possibilities with your doctor. The nasal passages will have to be examined. Complete blood count and stool test may be required. You may need to get X-rays or CT scans too. Hope this helps.

I had a hemotologist rule out vonwildebrands - but they decided that I had something, but they did not know what it was - so they called it idiopathic thromocytopathy (not thrombocytopenia, which is the normal disease) as my platelets just do not clump. Before surgery I get DDAVP to clump. I know of another Cushing's person with periods that are horrid - she gets them twice a month. An idea... And you need not have every symptom to have Cushing's either. I also had low iron.

As your pituitary changes, you may have to take other hormones like DDAVP so if you find that you are thirsty or if you are tired, make sure you report that to the doctor.

They say it happens more often while pregnant. Try some saline nasal spray. Make sure the meds you are taking are approved by your doctor. I also invested in an air purifier, but it only helped a little bit. Apparently congestion comes with the pregnancy package. Maybe other ladies have other remedies.
