Uses of Dpressin Tablet

Benefits of Dpressin Tablet

In Diabetes insipidus

Diabetes insipidus is a condition where the body loses too much water through frequent urination and excessive thirst, due to a hormone imbalance that affects how the kidneys manage fluids. Dpressin 0.1mg Tablet helps the body retain water by acting like the natural hormone (vasopressin) that regulates urine production. This reduces urine output and helps maintain normal hydration levels, relieving constant thirst and frequent urination.

In Bed-wetting

Bed-wetting (nocturnal enuresis) is a common condition in children and sometimes adults, where involuntary urination happens during sleep, often due to the body producing more urine at night than the bladder can hold. Dpressin 0.1mg Tablet helps by reducing nighttime urine production, allowing better bladder control and fewer disruptions during sleep. This improves sleep quality and boosts confidence and comfort, especially in children.

How Dpressin Tablet works

Dpressin 0.1mg Tablet is a synthetic form of vasopressin (natural hormone that balances water). 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 and bedwetting in children. In addition to these, it reduces bleeding episodes by promoting the release of blood clotting factors.
