Scientific Evidence

Studies have shown that desmopressin, the active ingredient in Uropres nasal spray, effectively reduces urine production and increases urine concentration in patients with diabetes insipidus. Clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy in managing nocturnal enuresis in both children and adults.

Additional Information

It is important to store Uropres nasal spray at room temperature and away from light and moisture. Keep the vial tightly closed when not in use. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose.

Desmopressin acts by mimicking the action of vasopressin, a hormone that regulates water balance in the body. It works by reducing the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, leading to decreased urination frequency and increased urine concentration.

Clinical trials have compared the effectiveness of desmopressin nasal spray with other formulations of desmopressin and have shown similar efficacy in managing conditions such as diabetes insipidus and nocturnal enuresis. The nasal spray formulation offers a convenient and non-invasive route of administration for patients.
