D Void Nasal Spray is used in the treatment of diabetes insipidus and bed-wetting. This medicine helps decrease the urge to urinate and help resume more normal life-style. It is generally used in patients who cannot take the oral form of medicine.

D Void Nasal Spray should be used as you have been advised by your doctor. Normally you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat for the other nostril.

The most common side effects of this medicine include nasal discomfort, nasopharyngitis, nasal congestion, sneezing, headache, nausea, and cough. These are usually mild but if they bother you or do not go away, your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them.

It is generally a safe medicine but, before taking it, talk to your doctor about any health problems you have such as heart problems or high blood pressure (hypertension) or overactive thyroid gland or glaucoma or prostate enlargement. Let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe. Ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Insert the bottle tip into one nostril and close the other nostril. Direct the spray towards the sides of your nostril, away from the cartilage dividing the two sides of your nose. As you spray, breath gently and keep the head upright. Repeat the same process for the other nostrils.

D Void Nasal Spray is a synthetic form of vasopressin (natural hormone that balances water). It is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the inner surface of the nose. Once absorbed, it works by causing reabsorption of water from the kidneys which controls excessive thirst and urination in diabetes insipidus. It also helps decrease night-time urine production in multiple sclerosis.
