About Minirin 0.1 Tablet
Minirin 0.1 Tablet is a hormone analogue that belongs to the class of ‘antihemophilic agents’ primarily used to treat diabetes insipidus, post-hypophysectomy polyuria (extreme urination) polydipsia (extreme thirst), and bedwetting. Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which the body fails to control water balance, resulting in excessive urination. Hypophysectomy is the surgical removal of the hypophysis (pituitary gland).
Minirin 0.1 Tablet contains Desmopressin, a human-made form (synthetic) of Vasopressin. Vasopressin is an antidiuretic (that controls fluid balance) hormone, synthesized in the pituitary gland's hypothalamus. When your body cannot produce enough vasopressin, Minirin 0.1 Tablet is given to replace a low vasopressin level. It mimics the natural hormone, vasopressin and works by reabsorbing water from the kidneys, which controls excessive thirst and urination in diabetes insipidus. It also decreases the amount of urine produced and controls bedwetting in children. Being an anti-haemophilic agent, Minirin 0.1 Tablet also reduces bleeding tendency in haemophilia (bleeding disorder) by promoting the release of blood clotting factors.
Your doctor will decide the dosage depending on your medical condition. The common side effects of Minirin 0.1 Tablet include headache, nausea, abdominal cramp, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk). Although not everyone experiences these side effects, if they occur, seek medical attention.
Before starting Minirin 0.1 Tablet , let your doctor know if you have any medical history of severe kidney disease or hyponatremia (low sodium levels in your body), extreme thirst, uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart failure, and fluid retention. While using Minirin 0.1 Tablet , limit water and other fluids' intake since it may lead to electrolyte imbalance. Avoid drinking coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, or other caffeine sources before bedtime, leading to increased urination. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Minirin 0.1 Tablet . Do not take or stop this medicine, if the doctor did not advise you to do so.
