About D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml
D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml is primarily used as replacement therapy in central cranial diabetes insipidus. It is also used to manage temporary polyuria (extreme urination) or polydipsia (extreme thirst) after head trauma or surgery in the pituitary gland.
D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml contains Desmopressin, which mimics the natural hormone vasopressin and works by reabsorbing water from the kidneys, which controls excessive thirst and urination. Thus, it prevents dehydration.
Common side effects of D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml include conjunctivitis/red eyes, weakness, headache, nasal congestion/stuffy nose, rhinitis/runny nose, nosebleeds, nausea, and upset stomach. If the side effects persist or worsen, seek a doctor's advice.
Let your doctor know if you have severe kidney disease, hyponatremia (low sodium levels), excessive fluid intake, high blood pressure, heart problems/failure, swelling or scarring of the nasal lining, or illnesses that cause fluid/mineral imbalance.
Uses of D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml
D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml is used in the treatment of central cranial diabetes insipidus, polyuria, and polydipsia. The detailed uses of D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml are as follows:
- Treat central diabetes insipidus: D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml replaces the natural antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) to reduce excessive urination and thirst caused by a deficiency in this hormone.
- Manage nocturnal polyuria (frequent nighttime urination): D-Pressin Nasal Spray 5 ml helps adults who wake up multiple times at night to urinate by decreasing urine production during sleep.
