Mechanism of Action

DDAVP works by reducing urine production and increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to decreased urination. It mimics the action of vasopressin, a hormone involved in regulating water balance in the body.

• Not recommended for patients with moderate to severe renal impairment or a history of hyponatremia.
