Avatar m tn DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet.

262527 tn?1285381659 t think the oral dosing can achieve the tissue levels needed for improvement that the IV administration can. Part of achieving tissue levels is how fast the med gets into the body. In oral dosing the absorption is slower. Also, the amount of oral Prednisone needed to equal the IV dose is 1200mg.
