Common use

Nocdurna (desmopressin) is prescribed to adults who experience frequent nighttime urination. The medication mimics the effects of antidiuretic hormone, reducing urine production while you sleep to improve sleep quality and overall quality of life.

Dosage and direction

Take Nocdurna orally once daily before bedtime. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Dosage may be adjusted based on age, kidney function, and response to therapy. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Precautions

Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, heart conditions, low blood sodium, or a history of hyponatremia. Limit fluid intake starting one hour before taking the tablet and continue until the following morning to lower the risk of water retention and low sodium levels. Watch for dizziness, headache, or swelling.

Contraindications

Do not use Nocdurna if you are allergic to desmopressin or any ingredient in the tablet. It is contraindicated in patients with severe kidney impairment, hyponatremia, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or active urinary tract obstruction.

Possible side effects

Common side effects include headache, nausea, mild abdominal discomfort, and swelling. Serious side effects may involve severe hyponatremia, seizures, confusion, rapid weight gain, or low blood pressure. Seek immediate medical attention if any severe symptoms develop.

Drug interactions

Nocdurna may interact with diuretics, corticosteroids, carbamazepine, and other medications that affect sodium or fluid balance. Provide your doctor with a complete list of prescription drugs, over‑the‑counter products, and supplements you are using.

Missed dose

If you miss a dose, skip it and resume your regular schedule the next night. Do not take a double dose.

Overdose

An overdose can cause water retention, severe hyponatremia, headache, confusion, or seizures. Obtain emergency medical care if overdose is suspected.

Storage

Store Nocdurna at room temperature away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep the tablets in their original container and out of reach of children.
