PROPERTIES 
MINIRIN contains desmopressin, a structural analogue of the natural
hormone arginine 
vasopressin. Two chemical changes have been made to the natural
hormone, namely 
desamination of 1-cysteine and substitution of 8-L-arginine
by 8-D-arginine. These 
structural changes result in a
compound with significantly increased antidiuretic potency, 
very little activity on smooth muscle, hence the avoidance of
undesirable pressor side 
effects. Oral administration of 0,1-0,2 mg desmopressin provides an
antidiuretic effect 
lasting in most patients for 8-12 hours. Relative to intranasal
administration the 
bioavailability is about 5 per cent. 
 
INDICATIONS 
– Central diabetes insipidus. The use of MINIRIN in patients
with an established 
diagnosis will result in a reduction in urinary output with
concomitant increase in urine 
osmolality and decrease in plasma osmolality. This will result in
decreased urinary 
frequency and decreased urination at night especially when
excessive. 
–  Primary involuntary discharge of urine at night in children
aged 5 years or more. 
 
CONTRAINDICATIONS 
MINIRIN must NOT be used in cases of: 
– habitual and psychogenic polydipsia 
– cardiac insufficiency and other conditions requiring treatment
with diuretic agents 
 
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE 
Precautions to prevent fluid overload must be taken in: 
– the very young and elderly patients 
– conditions characterized by fluid and/or electrolyte imbalance 
– patients at risk for increased intracranial pressure 
– caution in case of severe bladder dysfunc

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION 
 
Central diabetes insipidus: 
 
Page 2 of 8 
Dosage is individual in diabetes insipidus but clinical
experience has shown that the total daily dose 
normally lies in the range of 0.2 to 1.2 mg. A suitable
starting dose in adults and children is 0.1 mg 
three times daily. This dosage regimen should then be adjusted
in accordance with the patient’s 
response. For the majority of patients, the maintenance dose is 0.1
mg to 0.2 mg three times daily. 
 
In the event of signs of water retention/hyponatraemia treatment
should be interrupted and the dose 
should be adjusted.
