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.
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.
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.

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.
talk to your doctor about desmopressin, it works.
A year ago I noticed a strange rash on my penis while urinating. Of course I freaked out and self diagnosed myself with everything under the sun. I went and got checked for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and all came back negative. Went to dr and was prescribed triamcinolone cream it didn't seem to help but rash was still present but not as predominant.
Year later I have unprotected sex and the rash came back and has been with me for the last 3wks.
Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating.

Does the UK not have Product Information Inserts such as we do in the US of A that are basically reprints of the information contained in the Physicians Desk Reference and that are placed with each prescription filled? These tell you virtually everything concerning the medication prescribed.
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.
I have a friend who has Diabetes Insipidus. She has a great thirst and urinates frequently also. She doesn't sweat, which is causing her a problem. She has to drink water more often than other people. The doctors have not given her anything to help. I am sorry that I don't have any more information on this disease. - I am glad that your thyroid levels are good.
I am 4 months Post op ( with post op problems of cortisol levels rising again )
I had most of my pituitary gland removed
I am still not back at work
I also have DI but its pretty well controlled now on 200mcg desmopressin in the morning and 400mcg at night. I tried the nasal sprays but they didnt work for me, so my endo has left me on the tablets which work really well. Its not expected that my DI will resolve and ill be on Desmo for life.
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?
I too have DI but i take desmopressin and hydrocortizone daily. I found if I break the 20mg desmopressin into quarters I do better. The 5mg just didn't seem to work for me. I take it morning and night and other than a 10lb weight gain I have not had any side affects. If I don't take enough I feel fatigued and if I take to much my weight goes up but when the dose was decreased the bulk of the weight came off.
Have you tried other medications?
