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).
