I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Headache, nausea, upset stomach, or flushing of the face may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Desmopressin can infrequently cause a low level of sodium in the blood, which can be serious and possibly life-threatening. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

There are no permanent solutions. You can increase the salt in his diet a little more and continue with salt capsules. As long as he has no problems such as dizziness or vomitting, it should be fine. Ors can also given once a day. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a like. Thank you.

First of all, there is nothing like central diabetes mellitus. Sometimes, excess gh or acth release from pituitary from the tumor may cause hyperglycemia called as secondary diabetes. Low secretion of adh may cause excessive urination known as diabetes insipidus lead to excessive thirst. But sugar remains normal in the blood. So please be more specific about his illness and give a proper history of what hormones he is taking regularly.
