DDAVP for betwetting



I think what you have is nocturnal enuresis. It is not a rare problem by any means and because people do not brag about it, the real incidence is not known. In any case, you have several options when it comes to medications. You may want to ask your doctor for DDAVP, which is available as an inhaler. In some people, it does reduce nighttime urine production. However, it does not work in everyone. It is also an expensive medication. 

I would say try it for a week and see what happens. If it fails to work in 7-14 days, it is unlikely to work at all. DDAVP seems to work much better in children compared to adults. You should know that as soon as the medication is stopped, the enuresis returns. I should also tell you that certain DDVAP formulas for bedwetting are on hold by the FDA. Good luck.
