Minirin Nasal Spray is used in the treatment of diabetes insipidus and bed-wetting. This medicine helps decrease the urge to urinate and help resume more normal life-style. It is generally used in patients who cannot take the oral form of medicine.

Minirin Nasal Spray should be used as you have been advised by your doctor. Normally you should blow your nose gently before using it, keep one nostril closed while applying the medicine into the other and then sniff hard to make sure it reaches deep into the nose. Then repeat for the other nostril.

The most common side effects are irritation or discomfort to the nose and sneezing. These are usually mild but if they bother you or do not go away, your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing them.

It is generally a safe medicine but, before taking it, talk to your doctor about any health problems you have such as heart problems or high blood pressure (hypertension) or overactive thyroid gland or glaucoma or prostate enlargement. Let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe. Ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
