    • DDAVP (Brand for DESMOPRESSIN ACETATE)

DESMOPRESSIN (des moe PRESS in) treats diabetes insipidus, a condition that causes the body to make too much urine. It works by helping your kidneys make less urine, which balances the levels of fluid and salt in your body. This decreases symptoms such as thirst and frequent need to urinate. It may also be used to prevent or reduce excessive bleeding in people with hemophilia A or von Willebrand disease. It works by helping your body make a protein that helps your blood clot. This lowers the risk of bleeding.
