Desmopressin Nasal Spray – 10mcg per Dose, 6ml Euromart Suppliers

Effective Management for Diabetes Insipidus and More

Desmopressin Nasal Spray 6ml is a well-established intranasal treatment containing desmopressin acetate, a synthetic form of the body’s natural antidiuretic hormone (ADH). By increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, desmopressin reduces excessive urine output, helping restore fluid balance and improve day-to-day quality of life.

This nasal spray is widely prescribed for:

• Central diabetes insipidus

• Nocturnal polyuria (frequent night-time urination)

• Primary nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting)

The intranasal route provides rapid onset and is particularly useful for patients who prefer not to take tablets. This product is commonly used as a brand-equivalent alternative to DDAVP® 0.1mg nasal spray, offering the same active ingredient and clinical effect.

Veterinary Application (Dogs & Cats): Desmopressin is the treatment of choice for Central Diabetes Insipidus in pets.

• Application Hack: While titled a “nasal spray,” many veterinarians recommend administering the liquid as drops in the eye (conjunctival sac) for pets, as they often resist nasal sprays.

• Indications: Effectively manages “house-soiling” and extreme thirst in dogs.

• Note: Always consult your vet for pet-specific dosing; the 10mcg spray is highly concentrated for smaller animals.

When supplied by Dock Pharmacy, patients and prescribers benefit from regulated sourcing, pharmacist verification, and compliance with UK pharmacy standards.

Take control of excessive urination and fluid balance with Desmopressin Nasal Spray, a powerful medication designed to treat diabetes insipidus and other conditions where the body produces too much urine.

This 6ml metered pump delivers precisely 10 micrograms of Desmopressin Acetate per spray, providing effective control over polyuria (excessive urination) and polydipsia (excessive thirst). As of January 2026, this essential medication is back in full supply, ensuring patients can safely manage vasopressin-sensitive conditions without interruption.

Desmopressin Nasal Spray (10mcg/dose) is an antidiuretic used to treat Cranial Diabetes Insipidus (Arginine Vasopressin Deficiency).

Following the 2025 UK shortages, the 6ml (60-dose) spray is once again available as a life-sustaining maintenance treatment. It is a prescription-only medicine (POM) supplied by Dock Pharmacy, a regulated GPhC UK pharmacy.

How to Use Desmopressin Nasal Spray:

2. Prepare the Spray: Before the first use, prime the nasal spray by pressing the pump until a fine mist is produced. This ensures accurate dosing.
3. Administration: Insert the spray nozzle into one nostril, close the other nostril with your finger, and spray as directed. Repeat for the other nostril if necessary.
4. Monitor Fluid Intake: Your doctor may advise you to limit your fluid intake during treatment to avoid water retention or electrolyte imbalances.
5. Storage: Store the nasal spray in a cool, dry place, and follow any specific storage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

While Desmopressin Nasal Spray is generally well-tolerated, some users may experience mild side effects, including:

• Headaches: Some individuals may experience headaches, which typically subside with continued use.
• Nausea: Mild nausea can occur, especially when starting treatment.
• Hyponatremia: In rare cases, an imbalance in sodium levels can occur, leading to symptoms like headache, confusion, or seizures. It’s important to follow fluid intake recommendations to avoid this.
