Benefits of Dpressin Nasal Spray
Diabetes insipidus | Bed-wetting
In Diabetes insipidus Dpressin Nasal Spray is given as a nasal spray as its absorption is greatly increased when taken through the nose and it brings about rapid action of controlling thirst and also reduces the urge to urinate often. This helps to manage these symptoms in diabetes insipidus. In Bed-wetting Dpressin Nasal Spray contains a hormone vasopressin, that acts on the kidneys and reduces the frequency and amount of urine produced by the kidneys.

It also helps decrease night-time urine production in multiple sclerosis.
