What is DDAVP?

Among the many pharmaceuticals on the pharmaceutical market, DDAVP has proved itself to be very good. Patients who treated enuresis with this medication confirm this. In most cases, the drug has managed to get rid of the disease.

Bed-wetting is a common problem, especially among children. In pediatrics, urinary incontinence is one of the main problems. Doctors have long been engaged in the study of the disease and in search of the most effective methods of combating it. Despite the fact that the disease is serious from a medical point of view, the psychological and social side is very important too. Children's impressions and memories influence the formation of a person in the future. People who had to deal with the disease are having difficulty adapting in society. That is why this problem can and should be treated. And precisely for this purpose a medicinal product of DDAVP (10 mcg) was created.

It contains Desmopressin — a very potent active substance. It is a synthetic analogue of the natural hormone of the posterior part of the pituitary gland, which greatly increases the likelihood of rapid symptom removal and eliminates possible complications after the course of treatment. The drug begins to work after 15 minutes after taking, and the effect persists for 10 hours.
