DESMOPRESSIN ACETATE (Generic for DDAVP) Lifestyle Interactions

  • Desmopressin Acetate 4mcg/1mL, Solution for injection

    • Interaction: Alcohol
    • Severity: Mild
    • Notes for Consumers: Avoid alcohol-containing drinks while taking Desmopressin. Alcohol may work against the beneficial actions of Desmopressin (Desmopressin usually works to decrease urination).
    • Notes for Professionals: Acute ethanol intoxication causes diuresis presumably resulting from inhibition of vasopressin release from the posterior pituitary gland. Based on this response, the antidiuretic response to desmopressin may be reduced in patients receiving ethanol concomitantly. Caution should be used when coadministering these agents.
