Description

Desmopressin acetate(DDAVP, Stimate) is synthetic 1-desamino-8-D-argininevasopressin. Its efficacy, ease of administration (intranasal),long duration of action, and lack of side effects make itthe drug of choice for the treatment of central diabetesinsipidus. It may also be administered intramuscularly orintravenously. It is preferred to vasopressin injectionand oral antidiuretics for use in children. It is indicatedin the management of temporary polydipsia and polyuriaassociated with trauma to


A synthetic analog of the pituitary hormone, ARGININE VASOPRESSIN. Its action is mediated by the VASOPRESSIN receptor V2. It has prolonged antidiuretic activity, but little pressor effects. It also modulates levels of circulating FACTOR VIII and VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR.

Drug Information

Agents that reduce the excretion of URINE, most notably the octapeptide VASOPRESSINS. (See all compounds classified as Antidiuretic Agents.)|Agents acting to arrest the flow of blood. Absorbable hemostatics arrest bleeding either by the formation of an artificial clot or by providing a mechanical matrix that facilitates clotting when applied directly to the bleeding surface. These agents function more at the capillary level and are not effective at stemming arterial or venous bleeding under any significant intravascular pressure. (See all compounds classified as Hemostatics.)

Desmopressin acetate Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Antidiuretic.Desmopressin has been found to be useful in the treatment of central diabetes insipidus in small animals. It may be useful in treating Von Willebrand’s disease, but its short duration of activity (2 – 4 hours) in this condition, resistance development, and expense limit its usefulness for this disorder. Desmopressin may be useful perioperatively to reduce lymph node involvement and metastatic disease in canine mammary gland cancer.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Similar in structure to the natural hormone arginine vasopressin, the clinical dose has a prolonged duration of action and does not produce pressor side effects. After intravenous injection of 0.3 micrograms per kilogram of body weight, the activity of coagulation factor VIII (VIII:C) in plasma can be increased by 2 to 4 times, the von Willebrand antigen factor (vWF:Ag) can be increased, and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) can be released at the same time. It can shorten or normalize the prolonged bleeding time caused by uremia, cirrhosis, congenital or drug-induced platelet dysfunction, and unknown causes. The use of this product can avoid the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis virus infection caused by the use of factor VIII preparations.
