DDAVP Desmopressin tablets What do desmopressin tablets do?DESMOPRESSIN (DDAVP(R)) is a synthetic (laboratory-made) form of the hormone vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, or ADH) produced by the pituitary gland.

Desmopressin helps to prevent or control frequent urination, excessive thirst, and dehydration associated with diabetes insipidus or with certain brain injuries. Generic desmopressin tablets are not yet available.
