Drug overview for NOCDURNA (WOMEN) (desmopressin acetate):
Generic name: desmopressin acetate (dess-mow-PRESS-in)
Drug class: Antidiuretic Hormone
Therapeutic class: Endocrine
Desmopressin, a synthetic polypeptide structurally related to arginine vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone), the natural human posterior pituitary hormone, elicits a greater antidiuretic response, on a weight basis, than does arginine vasopressin, and, among other pharmacologic effects, causes a dose-dependent increase in plasma factor VIII (antihemophilic factor) activity.
No enhanced Uses information available for this drug.

The following dosing information is available for NOCDURNA (WOMEN) (desmopressin acetate):
For the management of neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus, the usual adult maintenance dosage of desmopressin acetate recommended by the manufacturer is 10-40 mcg (0.1-0.4 mL or 1-4 sprays from the spray pump of a solution containing 0.1 mg/mL) given intranasally in 1-3 divided doses daily. Some clinicians have recommended an adult desmopressin acetate maintenance dosage of 5-40 mcg (0.05-0.4 mL of a solution containing 0.1 mg/mL). Most adults require 20 mcg daily administered in 2 divided doses in the morning and the evening.
In children 3 months to 12 years of age, the initial dose of desmopressin acetate is 5 mcg or less (0.05 mL of a solution containing 0.1 mg/mL) administered intranasally in the evening. In children 3 months to 12 years of age, the usual intranasal dosage is 5-30 mcg (0.05-0.3 mL of a solution containing 0.1 mg/mL) daily in a single evening dose or divided in 2 doses. About 25-33% of adults and children can be controlled with a single daily dose.
The lowest effective dosage should be used. Fluid intake should be restricted. (See Cautions: Precautions and Contraindications.)
If the drug is administered by subcutaneous or direct IV injection in adults or children 12 years of age or older for the management of diabetes insipidus, the usual maintenance dosage is 2-4 mcg daily given in 2 divided doses. The parenteral dosage for the management of diabetes insipidus in children younger than 12 years of age has not been established. Patients with diabetes insipidus being switched from intranasal to subcutaneous or IV administration of the drug should generally receive one-tenth their maintenance intranasal dosage parenterally.
The lowest effective parenteral dosage should be given. During long-term use, patients rarely may develop tolerance to the drug and require cautious increase in dosage to achieve an adequate therapeutic response. Fluid intake should be restricted.
.)
If oral desmopressin acetate is used for the management of diabetes insipidus in patients who previously received the drug intranasally, oral therapy should be initiated 12 hours after the last intranasal dose. The usual initial oral dosage of desmopressin acetate for adults and pediatric patients is 0.05 mg twice daily, and subsequent dosage should be adjusted according to response.
In clinical studies, the optimal dosage range for most patients was 0.1-0.8 mg daily given in divided doses.
Each dose should be adjusted separately for an adequate diurnal rhythm of water turnover. Total oral daily dosage should be increased or decreased in the range of 0.1-1.2
mg divided into 2 or 3 daily doses as needed to obtain adequate antidiuresis. Fluid intake should be restricted. (See Cautions: Precautions and Contraindications.)
In children 3 months to 12 years of age, the initial dose of desmopressin acetate is 5 mcg or less (0.05 mL of a solution containing 0.1 mg/mL) administered intranasally in the evening. In children 3 months to 12 years of age, the usual intranasal dosage is 5-30 mcg (0.05-0.3 mL of a solution containing 0.1 mg/mL) daily in a single evening dose or divided in 2 doses. About 25-33% of adults and children can be controlled with a single daily dose.

The following drug interaction information is available for NOCDURNA (WOMEN) (desmopressin acetate):
There are 2 contraindications.
These drug combinations generally should not be dispensed or administered to the same patient. A manufacturer label warning that indicates the contraindication warrants inclusion of a drug combination in this category, regardless of clinical evidence or lack of clinical evidence to support the contraindication.
| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Desmopressin/Glucocorticoids SEVERITY LEVEL: 1-Contraindicated Drug Combination: This drug combination is contraindicated and generally should not be dispensed or administered to the same patient. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Glucocorticoids increase the risk of hyponatremia.(1-4) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of glucocorticoids may increase the risk of hyponatremia with desmopressin.(1-4) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Predisposing factors for hyponatremia include: polydipsia, renal impairment (eGFR < 50 ml/min/1.73m2), illnesses that can cause fluid/electrolyte imbalances, age >=65, medications that cause water retention and/or increase the risk of hyponatremia (carbamazepine, chlorpromazine, lamotrigine, loop diuretics, NSAIDs, opioids, SSRIs, thiazide diuretics, and/or tricyclic antidepressants). PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The concurrent use of systemic or inhaled glucocorticoids with desmopressin is contraindicated.(1-4) Desmopressin may be initiated 3 days or 5 half-lives after glucocorticoid discontinuation, whichever is longer. If concurrent use is deemed medically necessary, make sure serum sodium levels are normal before beginning therapy and consider using the desmopressin nasal 0.83 mcg dose. Consider measuring serum sodium levels more frequently than the recommended intervals of: within 7 days of concurrent therapy initiation, one month after concurrent therapy initiation and periodically during treatment. Counsel patients to report symptoms of hyponatremia, which may include: headache, nausea/vomiting, feeling restless, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, muscle cramps, changes in mental state (confusion, decreased awareness/alertness), seizures, coma, and trouble breathing. Counsel patients to limit the amount of fluids they drink in the evening and night-time and to stop taking desmopressin if they develop a stomach/intestinal virus with nausea/vomiting or any nose problems (blockage, stuffy/runny nose, drainage).(1) DISCUSSION: In clinical trials of desmopressin for the treatment of nocturia, 4 of 5 patients who developed severe hyponatremia (serum sodium <= 125 mmol/L) were taking systemic or inhaled glucocorticoids. Three of these patients were also taking NSAIDs and one was receiving a thiazide diuretic.(2) Drugs associated with hyponatremia may increase the risk, including loop diuretics, carbamazepine, chlorpromazine, glucocorticoids, lamotrigine, NSAIDs, opioids, SSRIs, thiazide diuretics, and/or tricyclic antidepressants.(1,3-4) |

MECHANISM OF ACTION: Loop diuretics increase the risk of hyponatremia.(1-4) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of loop diuretics may increase the risk of hyponatremia with desmopressin.(1-4) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: Predisposing factors for hyponatremia include: polydipsia, renal impairment (eGFR < 50 ml/min/1.73m2), illnesses that can cause fluid/electrolyte imbalances, age >=65, medications that cause water retention and/or increase the risk of hyponatremia (carbamazepine, chlorpromazine, glucocorticoids, lamotrigine, NSAIDs, opioids, SSRIs, thiazide diuretics, and/or tricyclic antidepressants).

The following prioritized warning is available for NOCDURNA (WOMEN) (desmopressin acetate):
WARNING: Desmopressin can rarely cause a low level of sodium in the blood (hyponatremia), which can be serious or even fatal. Drinking too much liquid, using certain medications (such as "water pills"/diuretics including furosemide, corticosteroids such as prednisone), being 65 years or older, or having certain medical conditions may increase the risk of low sodium in the blood. Lab tests (such as urine tests, sodium blood levels) must be done before you start using this medication and while you are using it.
Keep all medical and lab appointments. Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of low sodium in the blood, such as nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle weakness/cramps, unusual tiredness, unusual drowsiness, dizziness, restlessness, mental/mood changes including confusion/irritability. Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including seizure or trouble breathing.
