Scientific Evidence

Desmopressin, the active ingredient in Uropres nasal spray, has been extensively studied for its efficacy in managing conditions like diabetes insipidus and nocturnal enuresis. Research published in the Journal of Urology has shown that desmopressin is effective in reducing nocturnal urine output in patients with central diabetes insipidus.

Additional Information

It is important to store Uropres nasal spray at room temperature and away from light and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose.

Pharmacologically, desmopressin works by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to a decrease in urine production. This helps in managing conditions characterized by excessive urination, such as diabetes insipidus.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of desmopressin in the treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis, showing a significant reduction in bedwetting episodes compared to a placebo. The drug’s fast onset of action and low incidence of side effects make it a valuable option for patients.
