Dpressin Nasal Spray should be used as you have been advised by your doctor. Normally you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat for the other nostril.
The most common side effects of this medicine include nasal discomfort, nasopharyngitis, nasal congestion, sneezing, headache, nausea, and cough. These are usually mild but if they bother you or do not go away, your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them.
It is generally a safe medicine but, before taking it, talk to your doctor about any health problems you have such as heart problems or high blood pressure (hypertension) or overactive thyroid gland or glaucoma or prostate enlargement. Let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe. Ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How to use Dpressin Nasal Spray
Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril.

Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.
How Dpressin Nasal Spray works
Dpressin Nasal Spray is a synthetic form of vasopressin (natural hormone that balances water). It is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the inner surface of the nose. Once absorbed, it works by causing reabsorption of water from the kidneys which controls excessive thirst and urination in diabetes insipidus. It also helps decrease night-time urine production in multiple sclerosis.

FAQs
What precautions do I need to take while on Dpressin Nasal Spray?
Follow all the instructions given by your doctor strictly. Restrict water intake after taking Dpressin Nasal Spray as drinking too much water can lead to fluid overload, which is a serious side effect. Try not to swallow water while swimming.
How long do I need to give Dpressin Nasal Spray to my child for bedwetting?
Dpressin Nasal Spray is usually prescribed for 3 months for bedwetting. After 3 months, your doctor will stop the medicine for a week to assess whether your child still needs Dpressin Nasal Spray or not.
Does Dpressin Nasal Spray cure bed wetting?
No, Dpressin Nasal Spray does not cure bedwetting, but it helps control bedwetting. It works by replacing a hormone (vasopressin) that is normally produced in the body to help balance the amount of water and salt.
Does Dpressin Nasal Spray make you gain weight?
No, Dpressin Nasal Spray itself does not cause weight gain. Dpressin Nasal Spray may cause fluid overload which may in turn cause weight gain. Fluid overload is a serious side effect and you should immediately contact your doctor if you experience headache, nausea, vomiting, restlessness, tiredness, loss of appetite, sleepiness, confusion and muscle cramps.
Is Dpressin Nasal Spray a diuretic?
No, Dpressin Nasal Spray is not a diuretic. It is a hormone which helps lower urine output in patients with diabetes insipidus and helps control bedwetting in children. It works by reducing the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, thereby reducing the frequency of urination.
