Product Overview
About ОКТОСТИМ
ОКТОСТИМ is a prescription medication containing the synthetic analogue of vasopressin, Desmopressin. It is used to treat certain conditions characterized by excessive urination, such as nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) and diabetes insipidus.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) in children and adults
- Treatment of central diabetes insipidus, a condition where the body is unable to regulate fluids due to a lack of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
- Prevention of hematuria (blood in the urine) and proteinuria (excess protein in the urine) in patients with hemophilia A and B undergoing surgical procedures
Active Ingredient & Action
Desmopressin, the active ingredient in ОКТОСТИМ, works by mimicking the action of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in the body. It helps regulate the amount of water in the body by increasing the permeability of the collecting ducts in the kidneys, reducing urine production and increasing water reabsorption.
Important Notes
ОКТОСТИМ should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and usage instructions to avoid potential side effects, such as hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood). Patients with certain medical conditions, such as heart disease or kidney disease, should use ОКТОСТИМ with caution and under close medical supervision.
