Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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. I don't know why you would suddenly notice a decrease in your symptoms after 34 years. I would recommend making an appointment with your regular doctor to see what might be causing this. Until you can be seen, it is important that you remain aware of your fluid intake and output.
Avatar n tn talk to your doctor about desmopressin, it works.
Avatar m tn I guess your vet is suggesting using the DDAVP (Desmopressin) inhaler as eyedrops. From what I can tell, this stuff runs about $78 a bottle (less if you get more than one bottle). I am kind of confused as to why you are being prescribed DAVPP for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, because that's usually prescribed for CENTRAL Diabetes Insipidus, caused when the pituitary gland doesn't secrete enough ADH.
Avatar n tn today the consultant gave me tablets called desmopressin acetate. i understand they reduce urine amounts. will try but cant see them working well. Any new ideas or anyone with same prob please help.
Avatar m tn Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/557217'>peuatrygland diabetts</a>.
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. 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.
Avatar f tn Normally when we get to see baby, it just runs and hides from the machine, but this time baby was just like "nope!" And showed it's butt. Maybe it was trying to get us to stop looking at it.
Avatar f tn Has anyone tried the Step smart foot brace, it is pricey at $199 which works out at about £130. I have been looking at different foot braces and am wondering if this one is worth the money.
5574172 tn?1376700381 I have a pretty smart husband, I told him he didn't have to buy me something & he told me 'what pregnant baby wants pregnant baby gets' yeah lets just say he likes to keep his happy wife & he enjoys his spot in our bed;) I'm one lucky woman!
Avatar f tn So i heard smart water helps so you will not retain water, does any one know if is true?
Avatar n tn I had Smart Lipo on my inner and outer thighs last week. I have a Mirena IUD and haven't had a period in months. Since I had this procedure I've been bleeding. Could the laser have something to do with this? When my Dr was doing my inner thighs, he got really close to my pubic bone and it did hurt when he pushed toward the bone. If this is a reason for my sudden bleeding I need to know for how long should this continue. Would this be like a regular period now?
982526 tn?1248898065 My only remaining fear is that since the Doctor who performed the smart lipo did not listen to my request and did what he thought, that I will run into the same problem with the fix in a few months. It seems he has a vision of what the ideal woman should be shaped like and I just wanted a little tapering. I will wait out the healing....and pray. Will the ugly wrinkled skin really go away on it's own?
Avatar n tn sorry no but i think i would be calling either my pharmist or pain dr right away.. drug reactions are nothing to mess with.. i would think the pharmist would be the first call..
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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?
5204799 tn?1365456784 No stupid questions are ever asked. You don't know if you don't ask, right? I believe on the 10's the max prescribed dose is 6 per day. A persons tolerance grows as they take more and more. But once you detox, if you tried to pick up where you left off, it can be lethal. In fact, that's how most addicts OD. The acetaminophen is more of a danger and if you go to any rehab or Dr they will do blood tests to check it. But as addicts, we don't care when we are using.
Avatar f tn Well come to find out I had a 80% blockage in my RCA and a drug eluting stent was inserted. Well after that procedure and lots of medicines later I had to go back to the hospital because the Plavix was making me feel not well at all and lots of test were performed as well. Now that I am on Ticlid I feel a little better have more energy but I am still having some chest pain here and there. But not all the time. I am only 44 years old and I am shocked on how this has come out.
