Minirin Melt 120 mcg 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. Hypophysectomy is the surgical removal of the hypophysis (pituitary gland).

Minirin Melt 120 mcg Tablet contains Desmopressin, a human-made form (synthetic) of Vasopressin. Vasopressin is an antidiuretic (that controls fluid balance) hormone, synthesized in the pituitary gland's hypothalamus. When your body cannot produce enough vasopressin, Minirin Melt 120 mcg Tablet is given to replace a low vasopressin level. It mimics the natural hormone, vasopressin and works by reabsorbing water from the kidneys, which controls excessive thirst and urination in diabetes insipidus. It also decreases the amount of urine produced and controls bedwetting in children. Being an anti-haemophilic agent, Minirin Melt 120 mcg Tablet also reduces the bleeding tendency in haemophilia (bleeding disorder) by promoting the release of blood clotting factors.

Your doctor will decide the dosage depending on your medical condition.
