I was recently diagnosed with diabetes insipidus and prescribed DDAVP 4mcg/ml Inj, 10ml. This man-made hormone, similar to vasopressin, has significantly helped my kidneys control water retention. However, I've been experiencing some side effects like headaches and weakness. I'm curious about other people's experiences with this medication and any tips for managing these side effects. Has anyone else had similar issues, or maybe even worse? Also, I've noticed some injection site irritation; how can I minimize this? Looking forward to hearing from anyone who has similar experiences or knowledge about this medication.
