About D PRESSIN TABLET
D PRESSIN TABLET is used to treat diabetes insipidus, post-hypophysectomy polyuria (extreme urination), polydipsia (extreme thirst), and bedwetting. Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which the body fails to control water balance, resulting in excessive urination.
D PRESSIN TABLET contains Desmopressin, which works by reabsorbing water from the kidneys and helps control excessive thirst and urination in diabetes insipidus. It also reduces the amount of urine produced and helps control bedwetting in children.
D PRESSIN TABLET also reduces bleeding tendency in haemophilia (a bleeding disorder) by promoting the release of blood clotting factors.
Common side effects of D PRESSIN TABLET include headache, nausea, abdominal cramps, and flushing (a sensation of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk). Although not everyone experiences these side effects, if they occur, seek medical attention.
Let your doctor know if you have severe kidney disease, hyponatremia (low sodium levels in your body), extreme thirst, uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart failure, or fluid retention. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using D PRESSIN TABLET.
Uses of D PRESSIN TABLET
D PRESSIN TABLET is used in the treatment of diabetes insipidus and other conditions related to excessive urination. The detailed uses of D PRESSIN TABLET are as follows:
- Treats Diabetes Insipidus: D PRESSIN TABLET mimics the natural antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and helps control excessive thirst and urination in patients with diabetes insipidus by reducing the amount of water eliminated in the urine.
- Manages Post-Hypophysectomy Polyuria and Polydipsia: D PRESSIN TABLET is effective in treating excessive urination (polyuria) and excessive thirst (polydipsia) that occur after the surgical removal of the pituitary gland (hypophysectomy).
- Prevents Betwetting (Nocturnal Enuresis): D PRESSIN TABLET decreases nighttime urine production, thereby preventing the urinary bladder from overfilling during sleep and helping to control bedwetting in children.
- Manages Haemophilia A (Bleeding Disorder): D PRESSIN TABLET acts as an anti-haemophilic agent and helps reduce the bleeding tendency in patients with mild haemophilia by promoting the release of blood clotting factors.
