Desmopressin Acetate 10mg 50 puffs Nasal Spray

Desmopressin acetate is a synthetic analog of vasopressin, a hormone that regulates water balance in the body. This nasal spray increases water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing urine production. It is often used to treat conditions like diabetes insipidus, nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), and excessive urination due to specific medical conditions. The nasal spray format allows for rapid absorption through the nasal mucosa into the bloodstream.
