4 year old wee and poo accidents
He has told us to stop using pull ups at night and start him on a bed wetting alarm, along with prescribing him on
desmopressin
at night. This seems pretty extreme to me given how young he is, but we have started this week to give it a go. Any help and advice would be appreciated.

9 year old, where do we go now?
We have tried lots of things including alarms,
desmopressin
and anticholinergics. We recently underwent video urodynamics to be told that the bladder is acting normally. I was trying to speak to the consultant but my daughter needed me.

Desmopressin. Speed of affectiveness and altered behaviour.
Hi Folks and happy Easter. We've had my son on 100mg Desmomelts for just over a week now but there has been absolutely no improvement at all on them, in fact there have been a couple of mornings it seems that it is worse. I've been trying to find out just how quick they are supposed to work as my understanding

over active bladder?
My son is nearly 8 and is being treated with
desmopressin
for his bedwetting. It seems to have helped a little but he has only had a few dry nights, nothing consistent. It does seem to help if I lift him late at night, otherwise he usually wets, sometimes several times.

Night Time Wetting
He started on
desmopressin
melts and after 2 weeks still no improvement, they doubled the dose. He has been on this for nearly 5 weeks now and still no improvement. I finally spoke to someone yesterday at the clinic and they told me to give him movicol.

Bed wetting alarms
She has been on
desmopressin
for over a year and unfortunately it has not helped at all. We are diligent with drinking enough in the day, last drink time etc, but again this does not have any affect. Our consultant has recommended an alarm and there are a multitude of products available.

Does Levothyroxine have any effect on the liver?
And the cocktail of
Desmopressin
, Femoston 2 and Levothyroxine had increased the swelling and initiated pain/burning around the knees and pain in the feet. The Levo didn't help my thyroid levels.

I have partial diabetes insipidus ( vasopressin defficancy) for which I take
desmopressin
at night , (this in effect stops my kidneys producing urine) which then wears off as the day go on. I was wondering if the eGFR value could be influenced by taking the
Desmopressin

Treatment of hypopituitarism in patients receiving antiepileptic drugs
Because carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine can enhance the sensitivity of renal tubules, a reduction in
desmopressin
dose might be necessary in patients with central diabetes insipidus.
