About Minirin Melt 120 mcg Tablet
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.
Minirin Melt 120 mcg 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.
Minirin Melt 120 mcg Tablet also reduces bleeding tendency in haemophilia (a bleeding disorder) by promoting the release of blood clotting factors.
Common side effects of Minirin Melt 120 mcg 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.
