Minirin Melt 60Mcg 30Tab

Minirin is a medication used to treat conditions of antidiuretic hormone deficiency, containing the active ingredient Desmopressin (DESMOPRESSIN ACETATE). It is primarily used to treat diabetes insipidus, as well as in cases of abnormal nighttime urination.

Desmopressin works by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing the amount of urine produced. This effect helps control fluid levels in the body, leading to a reduction in symptoms associated with diabetes insipidus. Additionally, it can be used in other cases such as nighttime urination in children, helping to reduce the number of nighttime awakenings to urinate.
