Uses of Minirin 0.2mg Tablet

Minirin 0.2mg Tablet is used to reduce the amount of urine the body makes. It treats bedwetting in children, cranial diabetes insipidus (a condition causing extreme thirst and large amounts of urine), and frequent night-time urination in adults. Injection and nasal forms are also used in hospital for some bleeding disorders such as mild haemophilia A and von Willebrand disease.

How Minirin 0.2mg Tablet works

Desmopressin is a man-made version of vasopressin, the body’s natural antidiuretic hormone. It acts on the kidneys so they reabsorb more water, making urine more concentrated and smaller in volume. It also raises clotting factor VIII levels in the blood.

Possible side effects

Many people take Minirin 0.2mg Tablet without problems. Possible side effects include:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Stomach pain
• Stuffy or runny nose with the nasal spray
• Swelling or weight gain from fluid retention

Stop taking it and get urgent help if you have a severe headache, confusion, vomiting, unusual drowsiness, sudden weight gain or fits, as these can be signs of dangerously low sodium.

Precautions and warnings

• Limit how much you drink in the evening and overnight as your doctor advises, to reduce the risk of water overload.
• Stop taking it if you have vomiting, diarrhoea or a fever until you have spoken to your doctor.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart failure, kidney disease, low sodium or high blood pressure.
• Some medicines, including anti-inflammatory painkillers and certain antidepressants, increase the risk of low sodium.
• Older adults need closer monitoring of sodium levels; discuss pregnancy and breastfeeding with your doctor.
