Overview
The mainstay of treatment for central diabetes insipidus is desmopressin (DDAVP) while nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is treated according to the cause.
Medical Therapy
Central Diabetes Insipidus
The mainstay of therapy for central diabetes insipidus is desmopressin. Fluid restriction should be observed. Dosing should be individualized to response.[1][2]
- Preferred regimen (1):
- IV, SQ: 2 to 4 mcg daily (0.5 to 1 mL) in 2 divided doses or one-tenth (1/10) of the maintenance intranasal dose.
- IM, IV, SQ: Canadian labeling (DDAVP Injection only): 1 to 4 mcg (0.25 to 1 mL) once daily or one-tenth (1/10) of the maintenance intranasal dose.
- Intranasal: 100 mcg/mL nasal solution, Usual dose range: 10 to 40 mcg daily (0.1 to 0.4 mL) as a single dose or divided 2 to 3 times daily.
- Oral:
- US labeling: Initial: 0.05 mg twice daily; total daily dose should be increased or decreased as needed to obtain adequate antidiuresis (range: 0.1 to 1.2 mg divided 2 to 3 times daily).
- Canadian labeling: Initial: 0.1 mg 3 times daily; total daily dose should be increased or decreased as needed to obtain adequate antidiuresis (maximum: 1.2 mg/day in 3 divided doses)
- Sublingual formulation (Canadian product):
- DDAVP Melt: Initial: 60 mcg 3 times daily
Total daily dose should be increased or decreased as needed to obtain adequate antidiuresis effects.
- Usual maintenance: 120 to 720 mcg equally divided 2 or 3 times daily.
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Early diagnosis is helpful in decreasing the long term side effects of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus such as mental retardation that results from repeated episodes of dehydration and hypernatremia:
- Decreased dietary solute[3]
- Diuretics
- Preferred regimen (1): Thiazide diuretics 25 mg once or twice daily[4][5]
- Preferred regimen (2): Amiloride 5 mg daily or twice a day[6]
- Alternative regimen (1): Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs[7]
- Alternative regimen (2): Exogenous ADH[6]
