Conditions Treated

• Diabetes insipidus
• Bed-wetting in children

Benefits
In diabetes insipidus, the body loses excessive water due to a hormone imbalance affecting kidney function. Minirin Melt mimics the natural hormone vasopressin, helping the kidneys retain water. This reduces frequent urination, helps maintain proper hydration, and relieves constant thirst. It also helps reduce nighttime urination and supports children in controlling bed-wetting.

Mechanism of Action
This tablet contains a synthetic version of vasopressin, a hormone that balances water in the body. It works by promoting water reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing excessive urination, and supporting hydration. Additionally, it may assist in regulating blood clotting factors, helping control bleeding episodes.

Usage Instructions
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing or crushing. Try to take it at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness.
