Overview
Desmopressin (injection) is a hemostatic and endocrine-metabolic agent that is FDA approved for the treatment of central diabetes insipidus and primary nocturnal enuresis. Common adverse reactions include fatigue and rhinitis.
Adult Indications and Dosage
FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)
Central Cranial Diabetes Insipidus
- Dosage:
- Injection: 0.5mL - 1.0mL at 4 mcg/mL IV or SC, usually divided in two doses
- Tablets: 0.05 mcg PO q12h. Total daily dosage should be increased or decreased in the range of 0.1 mg to 1.2 mg divided into two or three daily doses as needed to obtain adequate antidiuresis.
- Nasal Spray: 0.1 to 0.4 mL daily, either as a single dose or divided into two or three doses.
Hemophilia A with factor VIII Coagulant Activity > 5%
- Dosage
- Injection: 4 mcg/mL IV at 0.3 mcg/kg of body weight infused in 15-30 minutes. In adults and children weighing more than 10 kg, 50 mL of diluent is recommended; in children weighing 10 kg or less, 10 mL of diluent is recommended.
Von Willebrand's Disease
- Dosage:
- Injection: 4 mcg/mL IV at 0.3 mcg/kg of body weight infused in 15-30 minutes. In adults and children weighing more than 10 kg, 50 mL of diluent is recommended; in children weighing 10 kg or less, 10 mL of diluent is recommended.
Off-Label Use and Dosage (Adult)
Guideline-Supported Use
There is limited information regarding Off-Label Guideline-Supported Use of Desmopressin (patient information) in adult patients.
Non–Guideline-Supported Use
Diagnosis of Cushing's Syndrome
- Dosage: 5-10 mcg IV has proven ability to stimulate the pituitary-adrenal axis in a set of patients with Cushing's Syndrome, being useful in the differential diagnosis of the given pathology. [1]
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Evidence: profilaxis during labour against bleeding. [2]
Hemorrhage-Uremia
- Dosage: 0.4 microgram/kg IV infusion in patients with chronic renal failure, shortened bleeding time. [3]
Nocturia
- Dosage: 100 mcg (men) and 25 mcg (women) reduces nocturnal voids in 33%. [4]
Urine Concentration Test
- Dosage: 10 mcg intranasally after 12 hours of water depravation concentrated urine in patients as if they were on 24-36 hours of water depravation[5].
Pediatric Indications and Dosage
FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Pediatric)
Primary Nocturnal Enuresis
- Dosage:
- Tablets: (Patients >6 years): Initial dose of 0.2 mg at bedtime. The dose may be titrated up to 0.6 mg to achieve the desired response.
Central Cranial Diabetes Insipidus
- Dosage:
- Nasal Spray: (Patients 3 months - 12 years old), 0.05 to 0.3 mL daily, either as a single dose or divided into two doses.
Hemophilia A with factor VIII Coagulant Activity > 5%
- Dosage:
- Injection: 4 mcg/mL IV at 0.3 mcg/kg of body weight infused in 15-30 minutes. In adults and children weighing more than 10 kg, 50 mL of diluent is recommended; in children weighing 10 kg or less, 10 mL of diluent is recommended.
Von Willebrand's Disease
- Dosage:
- Injection: 4 mcg/mL IV at 0.3 mcg/kg of body weight infused in 15-30 minutes. In adults and children weighing more than 10 kg, 50 mL of diluent is recommended; in children weighing 10 kg or less, 10 mL of diluent is recommended.
Off-Label Use and Dosage (Pediatric)
Guideline-Supported Use
There is limited information regarding Off-Label Guideline-Supported Use of Desmopressin (patient information) in pediatric patients.
Non–Guideline-Supported Use
Urinary Incontinence
- Dosage: Desmopressin administered at bedtime at increasing dosages from 10 to 30 mcg with intranasal spray until effective. [6]
Urine Concentration Test
- Dosage: 50 mcg intranasally in children, optimal urine concentration was achieved by 3-5 hours [7].
Contraindications
Contraindicated in:
*Individuals with known hypersensitivity to desmopressin acetate or to any of the components of DDAVP tablets.
- Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (defined as a creatinine clearance below 50ml/min).
- Patients with hyponatremia or a history of hyponatremia.
Warnings
- Very rare cases of hyponatremia have been reported from world-wide postmarketing experience in patients treated with desmopressin acetate. Desmopressin acetate is a potent antidiuretic which, when administered, may lead to water intoxication and/or hyponatremia. Unless properly diagnosed and treated hyponatremia can be fatal. Therefore, fluid restriction is recommended and should be discussed with the patient and/or guardian. Careful medical supervision is required.
- When desmopressin acetate injection is administered to patients who do not have need of antidiuretic hormone for its antidiuretic effect, in particular in pediatric and geriatric patients, fluid intake should be adjusted downward to decrease the potential occurrence of water intoxication and hyponatremia. All patients receiving desmopressin acetate therapy should be observed for the following signs of symptoms associated with hyponatremia: headache, nausea/vomiting, decreased serum sodium, weight gain, restlessness, fatigue, lethargy, disorientation, depressed reflexes, loss of appetite, irritability, muscle weakness, muscle spasms or cramps and abnormal mental status such as hallucinations, decreased consciousness and confusion. Severe symptoms may include one or a combination of the following: seizure, coma and/or respiratory arrest. Particular attention should be paid to the possibility of the rare occurrence of an extreme decrease in plasma osmolality that may result in seizures which could lead to coma.
- Desmopressin acetate should not be used to treat patients with Type IIB von Willebrand’s disease since platelet aggregation may be induced.
- Desmopressin acetate should be used with caution in patients with habitual or psychogenic polydipsia who may be more likely to drink excessive amounts of water, putting them at greater risk of hyponatremia.
