Minirin Melt 60 mcg - Tablets
Desmopressin.
Desmopressin is a synthetic structural analogue of the natural pituitary hormone arginine vasopressin. The difference lies in the deamination of cysteine and substitution of L-arginine by D-arginine.
Desmopressin is used to treat nighttime bed-wetting, central diabetes insipidus, and increased thirst and urination caused by head surgery or head trauma.
Desmopressin is a man-made form of a hormone that occurs naturally in the pituitary gland and regulates how the body uses water.
