Desmopressin
hormone / endocrine treatment
Nothing to addWhat this medicine is for
Pharmacologically, Desmopressin relates to the category “hormone / endocrine treatment”. This hormonal treatment replaces or modulates a hormone of the body, under medical supervision.
In the case of Desmopressin, this means: Vasopressin analogue (bed-wetting, diabetes insipidus). It is generally taken over the long term, within regular monitoring, and is not stopped on your own initiative.

Do you need a supplement? No.
We put forward no supplement for Desmopressin: that would be forcing a need that does not exist. The great majority of medicines call for no particular supplementation, and acknowledging this is part of the way we work. We design a supplement only where the data support it, across five specific classes.
