Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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).
757137 tn?1347196453 Both sterile water and saline can be used of humidifying the nasal passages, but isotonic saline solution (salt water) is preferred as it is at the same concentration as that found in the body. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn 2) Does the HIV infected nasal secretions or blood die/is inactivated in the nose drop solution? 3) can HIV infected nasal secretions or blood even be transmitted to someone else if it enters that person's/ nostrils? has this even happened before?
Avatar n tn As far as I gathered, the pure saline solution to help with those nasal membranes is just fine. I wouldnt worry too much aboutit.
Avatar n tn is it okay to use albuterol sulfate inhalation solution .083 % even if its out of code? I have real bad asthma and I got a serve cold and cant afford to go to doctor.
Avatar n tn In the past 5 years or so, I have slowly developed a restricted nasal problem to the point in which both sides of the inner nose become completely blocked and cannot breathe through my nose at all; in or out. Currently, the only remedy that will help is Vicks Sinex 12 hour fine mist. I need to break away from using this medication as it has its bad side effects such as excessive mucous, nose bleeds, and loss of some smell.
Avatar n tn Hello Rahul, I'm not sure if you have sinus, allergy, or asthma. Nose sprays should have given you some relief from nasal blockage. I swear by one product 'NEILMED" neti pot. Go to the drugstore where they sell the Neilmed white neti pot which include solution for you to use. My family, grandkids use it all the time when nose is blocked. Not the squirt up nose type (tho u may try that too)...as I prefer the white tea pot type.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Ointment (with neosporin) can be applied inside the nose over the nasal septum. As, front part of the nasal septum is more prone for drying and crusting. 4. Consult an ENT specialist for a thorough check up.
3926262 tn?1350439336 My nose was so dry during Tx, especially during the first few months. I would be careful with vaseline or any products that contain oils. If you put them in your nose and they drain down the back of the nose and mouth (they eventually do this) and then take a deep inhalation, you could get them in your lungs and develop lipid pneumonia. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/petroleum-jelly/an00947 Saline solution or spray is safe or water based products are safe.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I've been using the Neilmed nasal rinse for a few years now after undergoing surgery. Now when I don't use, I have really runny nose and strong headaches. But when I do use, I have a uncomfortable feeling between my eyebrows. I searched the web and the reasonable explanation is that water remains in the sinuses. I feel distracted either way throughout the day and it is hard to work with these problems.
850029 tn?1238857820 Does anyone have any good home remedies for post nasal drip? I'm dying here:( I've had it for two days and its driving me nuts. Typically is that a symptom of a sinus infection?
Avatar m tn It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens. You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper assessment. In the meantime practice good breathing exercises, humidify your room and do steam inhalations. Regards.
497572 tn?1209812815 Intranasal steroid sprays may reduce or retard the growth of small nasal polyps, but they are relatively ineffective in massive nasal polyposis. Antifungal agents have no role in the management of nasal polyposis, but these agents may be useful in cases of allergic fungal sinusitis with polyposis.
