How to take DDAVP Rhinal Tube nasal?
The DDAVP rhinal tube may be tested in urine by your doctor to ensure that it is right for you. Read all the instructions or guides that come with your medication and follow the directions. Sometimes, your doctor will change the dose. You must take the medication exactly as prescribed. Prime the nasal spray by spraying it four or five times into the air before your first use. The nasal spray should be primed again if it hasn't been used in more than three days.
If you experience diarrhea or vomiting that continues, a fever, or excessive sweating, call your doctor. This medicine can cause you to become easily dehydrated, leading to very low blood pressure and a severe electrolyte imbalance. Your doctor might need to perform frequent tests and adjust your dosage based on those results. You may be required to undergo blood or urine testing before you can start taking DDAVP Rhinal Tub again if you have stopped using the product. While using DDAVP, limit your water intake and fluids. Too much water may cause you to lose your sodium levels, which can lead to an electrolyte balance that is life-threatening.
