Desmopressin acts by mimicking the action of vasopressin, a hormone that regulates water balance in the body. It reduces urine production, leading to decreased urination frequency and increased urine concentration.
Clinical trials have compared desmopressin nasal spray with other formulations, showing similar efficacy in managing conditions like diabetes insipidus and nocturnal enuresis. The nasal spray offers a convenient and non-invasive administration route for patients.
