What Is MINIRIN?
MINIRIN (Desmopressin) is a trusted medication used to reduce excessive urination and help the body maintain proper water balance. It is a synthetic form of the natural antidiuretic hormone that regulates how much urine the kidneys produce.
MINIRIN is commonly prescribed for:
Central diabetes insipidus
Frequent urination and excessive thirst
Primary nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting)
Available in 0.2 mg tablets and 10 mcg nasal spray (2.5 ml), MINIRIN offers flexible dosing options depending on your condition and doctor’s guidance.
How MINIRIN Works
Pharmacologic Class: Posterior pituitary hormone
Therapeutic Class: Antidiuretic hormone
Desmopressin helps the kidneys concentrate urine and reduce its volume. This makes MINIRIN effective for patients who experience abnormally high urine output.
