About D-Pressin: D-Pressin nasal spray is an antidiuretic medication used to treat diabetes insipidus. It contains the active ingredient desmopressin acetate which is an antidiuretic hormone/ vasopressin. Introduction of the diuretic hormone, desmopressin , returns the hormone levels back to normal. By doing so, it eliminates frequent urination, constant thirst and prevents the body from getting dehybrated. D-Pressin spray can also be applied to children to prevent bedwetting although using it regularly can drastically reduce the sodium levels to dangerous lows.
