1. What is Desmopressina Teva and what is it used for
Desmopressin, the active ingredient contained in Desmopressina Teva, acts like the natural hormone
vasopressin and regulates the kidneys’ ability to concentrate urine.
Desmopressina Teva is used to treat:
- Central diabetes insipidus (a pituitary gland disorder that causes severe thirst and the excretion of a large amount of urine, usually pale in color and similar to water).
- Nocturnal enuresis in children starting from 5 years of age with normal urine concentrating ability (a condition consisting of involuntary urination during sleep).
- Nocturia in adults under 65 years of age (a condition in which you frequently wake up during the night to urinate).
2. What you need to know before taking Desmopressina Teva
Do not take Desmopressina Teva:
- if you are allergic to desmopressin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you suffer from polydipsia (abnormal intake of large quantities of fluids), heart failure and other conditions that require treatment with diuretics;
- if you have moderate or severe impaired kidney function;
- if you have low levels of sodium in the blood;
- if you are unable to comply with fluid restriction;
- if you have a disorder of hormone secretion (so-called SIADH);
- if you are over 65 years of age and suffer from nocturia (see section 1);
- if your child is under 5 years of age and suffers from nocturnal enuresis (see section 1).
Warnings and precautions
For the management of nocturnal enuresis (involuntary urination during the night) in children, lifestyle interventions and the use of a night alarm (a device that
emits a sound or vibration when urine is lost) are initially used.
If these measures are not effective or if drug therapy is necessary, treatment with
desmopressin can be started.
Talk to your doctor before using Desmopressina Teva:
- if you have coronary heart disease (affecting the blood vessels that supply the heart) or high blood pressure;
- if you have a thyroid (a gland located in the neck) or adrenal (a gland located above the kidney) disease;
- if you develop a disease during treatment that causes fever, vomiting or diarrhea;
- if you experience headache, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, weight gain, confusion (difficulty understanding words, difficulty concentrating) or convulsions (violent and involuntary contractions of one or more limbs) during treatment; these symptoms may be signs of a dangerous condition called hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood);
- for the treatment of central diabetes insipidus: it is necessary to decrease water consumption and consult a doctor immediately. The doctor will reduce the doses or suspend treatment for a few hours;
- for the treatment of nocturnal enuresis or nocturia: treatment should be discontinued, water consumption reduced and a doctor consulted immediately;
- if you are at risk of increased pressure inside the skull.
When treating nocturnal enuresis and nocturia, during the period between 1 hour before and 8 hours after
taking this medicine, fluid intake should be reduced to the minimum necessary to
manage thirst.
Desmopressina Teva should be used with caution in patients with fluid balance disorders. Consult
your doctor if, in association with an acute illness, you experience fluid and/or
electrolyte balance disorders.
Children

any other medicines, including those available without a prescription.

4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

confusion, malaise, a feeling of lightheadedness and, in severe cases, convulsions and coma.
These signs may reflect more or less significant fluid retention. They usually appear with high doses of
