Bedwetting is not a life threatening disorder but can create havoc in the life of an individual. In most cases, children who have a bed wetting problem grow out of it with time. Some children may improve with the use of an enuresis alarm. However, in other cases, the problem of bed wetting can be severe and may warrant medications. One of the best medication to treat bed wetting today is DDAVP or desmopressin. DDAVP is actually a synthetic hormone and is very effective in the treatment of enuresis.
DDAVP is available both as a pill and as a nasal spray. It works by reducing the amount of urine produced at night. With less urine formed, the bladder remains less full and the urge to urinate disappears. DDAVP is generally used in children after all conservative approaches have been tried and failed.
