Description of Ddavp Melt

Ddavp Melt is available in the form of a tablet for sublingual use (under the tongue). It is supplied in three strengths, Ddavp Melt 60mcg, 120mcg and 240mcg. The drug is a prescription medication, so you need to consult your doctor before you buy Ddavp Melt online.

Indications & Dosage of Ddavp Melt

Ddavp Melt is indicated to control excessive urination at night (known as bedwetting). It is also used to treat diabetes insipidus, a condition where the kidneys are not able to conserve water due to the absence of the antidiuretic hormone. Ddavp Melt is also recommended post-hypophysectomy polyuria/polydipsia. After such surgery, the patient experiences extreme thirst and there is continuous production of large volumes of urine. The drug is specifically prescribed to treat excessive urination that develops after surgical removal of the pituitary gland.

Ddavp Melt affects the kidneys and reduces the amount of urine produced. The medication starts working within an hour, and the effect of the medication may last up to 5-7 hours.

Your doctor will give you specific instructions regarding the dosage. The recommended starting dose of Ddavp Melt is 120mcg, one hour before bedtime. Your doctor may increase the dose up to 360mcg one hour before bedtime depending on the response to treatment.

For the treatment of diabetes insipidus, the recommended dose is 60mcg, 3 times a day. Your doctor may adjust the dosage depending on your response to treatment. In Post-hypophysectomy polyuria/polydipsia, the recommended dose is based on urine concentration.
