Podcast #250: Desmopressin
Author: Rachael Duncan, PharmD BCPS BCCCP
Educational Pearls
- Desmopressin is an ADH mimetic and helps retain water, release von Willibrand Factor (in high doses), and treat diabetes insipidus (in low doses).
- It can also be used in renal colic, because it may reduce muscle spasm in the ureters.
- The dosing for renal colic is very small (40 micrograms).
