• This medicine has been prescribed for you personally
and you should not pass it on to others. It may harm

• If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice
any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please tell your

IMPORTANT THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
• Desmospray is used
- to treat patients with multiple sclerosis suffering
from nocturia (the need to get up at night to pass
urine), when other treatments have failed
- to diagnose and treat cranial diabetes insipidus (a
condition that causes extreme thirst and the
continuous production of large volumes of dilute
urine)
- as a test to check if the kidneys are functioning
properly (renal function test)
• You should avoid drinking large amounts of fluid while
you are being treated with Desmospray, as this could
lead to a build up of water which dilutes the salt in the
body. This is a serious problem and may lead to
convulsions.
• If you experience unusually bad or prolonged headache,
confusion, unexplained weight gain, ankle swelling,
nausea or vomiting STOP USING DESMOSPRAY. You
should tell your doctor immediately or go to the
casualty department at your nearest hospital.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS

DESMOSPRAY is indicated for:

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
TREATMENT OF NOCTURIA:
When DESMOSPRAY is used for the treatment of nocturia associated with
multiple
sclerosis, fluid intake must be limited to a minimum from 1 hour
before using the spray at
bedtime
until
the
next
morning
and
in
any
case
for
a
minimum
of
8
hours
after
administration.
For multiple sclerosis patients up to 65 years of age with normal
renal function suffering
from nocturia the dose is one or two sprays intranasally (10 to 20
micrograms) at bedtime.
Not more than one dose should be used in any 24 hour period. If a dose
of two sprays is
required, this should be as one spray into each nostril.

TREATMENT OF DIABETES INSIPIDUS:
Dosage is individual but clinical experience has shown that the
average maintenance dose in
adults and children is one or two sprays (10 to 20 micrograms) once or
twice daily. If a dose
of two sprays is required, this should be as one spray into each
nostril.
DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES INSIPIDUS:
The diagnostic dose in adults and children is two sprays (20
micrograms). Failure to
elaborate a concentrated urine after water deprivation, followed by
the ability to do so after
the administration of DESMOSPRAY confirms the diagnosis of cranial
diabetes insipidus.
Failure to concentrate after the administration suggests nephrogenic
diabetes insipidus.
RENAL FUNCTION TESTING:
Recommended doses for the renal concentration capacity test:
Adults: Two sprays into each nostril (a t
