D Viod 0.1mg Nasal Spray

Introduction

D Viod is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Desmopressin. It is available in the form of a nasal spray and is commonly used to treat a specific type of diabetes insipidus known as central diabetes insipidus.

Uses

D Viod is primarily prescribed to manage the symptoms of central diabetes insipidus. This condition is characterized by excessive thirst and the production of large amounts of dilute urine. Desmopressin, the active ingredient in D Viod, helps to reduce urine production and control excessive thirst, thereby improving the patient’s quality of life.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of D Viod may vary depending on the individual patient’s needs and response to treatment. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Generally, the usual starting dose for adults is one spray (10 micrograms) into one nostril, taken once or twice daily. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dosage based on your condition and response to treatment.

To administer D Viod, follow these steps:

Blow your nose gently to clear your nasal passages.

Shake the bottle well before each use.

Remove the protective cap from the bottle.

Hold the bottle upright and insert the nozzle into one nostril.

Close the other nostril with your finger and press down firmly on the pump to release the spray.

Breathe in gently through your nose while spraying.

Repeat the process for the other nostril, if directed by your healthcare provider.

Replace the protective cap after each use.

Use D Viod as prescribed and not exceed the recommended dosage.

Mechanism of Action

Desmopressin, the active ingredient in D Viod, works by increasing the reabsorption of water in the kidneys, reducing the production of urine. It does this by mimicking the action of a hormone called vasopressin, which is naturally produced in the body. By increasing water reabsorption, Desmopressin helps to restore the balance of fluids in the body and alleviate the symptoms of central diabetes insipidus.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, and nasal discomfort. These side effects are usually mild and tend to improve over time. If they persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, D Viod may cause more serious side effects such as allergic reactions, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or chest pain. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

• Antidiuretic hormone analogues
