Serious Warnings and Precautions

Serious Drug Interactions

How many DDAVP Tablets should be used?

As with all medicines, side effects may be experienced. With DDAVP Tablets, these may include headache, dizziness, rash, and mild abdominal cramps. These have occurred usually when the medication is being adjusted. Once you are taking the right amount of medicine for your condition, these side effects will usually go away. Tell your doctor about any side effects you experience.

Infrequently, high doses of DDAVP have produced transient headache and nausea. Nasal congestion, rhinitis, flushing and mild abdominal cramps have been reported. These symptoms disappeared with reduction in dosage. Please contact your physician should your child experience any side effects. For DDAVP to work at its best, it is very important to limit the number of drinks the child has after supper, especially 1 hour before bedtime. As most children sleep between 8 to 12 hours, further fluid restriction is not required. In the event the child wakes up during the night, liquid intake should be restricted.

Tell your child's doctor or pharmacist in the unlikely event your child is taking any of the following medications (they are adult medications known to cause water retention and should be avoided when taking DDAVP); clofibrate, chlorpromazine, carbamazapine, tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline, nortriptyline), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs for example, fluoxetine or Prozac, paroxetine or Paxil, sertraline or Zoloft, fluvoxamine or Luvox, citalopram or Celexa), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs such as etodolac or Ultradol, ibuprofen or Advil or Motrin, naprosen or Naprosyn), celecoxib or Celebrex) and loperamide or Imodium.
