About Minirin Melt 60 mcg Tablet 10's
Minirin
Melt 60 mcg Tablet 10's is a hormone analogue that belongs to the class of
‘antihemophilic agents’ primarily used to treat diabetes insipidus,
post-hypophysectomy polyuria (extreme urination) polydipsia (extreme thirst),
and bedwetting. Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which the body fails to
control water balance, resulting in excessive urination. Hypophysectomy is the
surgical removal of the hypophysis (pituitary gland).
Minirin Melt 60 mcg Tablet 10's contains Desmopressin, a
human-made form (synthetic) of Vasopressin. Vasopressin is an antidiuretic
(that controls fluid balance) hormone, synthesized in the pituitary gland's
hypothalamus. When your body cannot produce enough vasopressin, Minirin Melt 60
mcg Tablet 10's is given to replace a low vasopressin level. It mimics the
natural hormone, vasopressin and works by reabsorbing water from the kidneys,
which controls excessive thirst and urination in diabetes insipidus. It also
decreases the amount of urine produced and controls bedwetting in children.
Being an anti-haemophilic agent, Minirin Melt 60 mcg Tablet 10's also reduces
bleeding tendency in haemophilia (bleeding disorder) by promoting the release
of blood clotting factors.
Your doctor will decide the dosage depending on your medical
condition. The common side effects of Minirin
Melt 60 mcg Tablet 10's include headache, nausea, abdominal cramp, flushing
(sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk). Although not everyone

Medicinal Benefits
Minirin
Melt 60 mcg Tablet 10's is a hormone analogue that treats diabetes insipidus,
post-hypophysectomy polyuria (extreme urination) or polydipsia (excessive
thirst), and bedwetting. It contains Desmopressin, a synthetic form of
Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone), which mimics the natural hormone,
vasopressin and works by limiting the amount of water eliminated in the urine,
thus controlling excessive thirst and urination in diabetes insipidus. It also
decreases the amount of urine produced, thereby preventing the urinary bladder
from filling up at night time and controls bedwetting in children. Being an anti-haemophilic
agent, Minirin Melt 60 mcg Tablet 10's also reduces bleeding tendency in
haemophilia (bleeding disorder) by promoting the release of blood clotting
factors.
