Stimate Nasl

Generic Name: DESMOPRESSIN 1.5 MG/ML SPRAY - NASAL
Pronounced: (dess-mow-PRESS-in)

Stimate Nasl Uses

This medication is used to control bleeding due to surgery, injuries, or menstrual periods in patients with certain diseases (e.g., hemophilia A, type 1 von Willebrand disease). It is a man-made form of a certain natural hormone made by the body (vasopressin) that causes the release of substances in your body that help blood clotting.

How To Use Stimate Nasl

Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using desmopressin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

This medication is to be used in the nose. The spray pump must be primed before using the medicine. Follow the instructions on how to do this step.

Avoid spraying this medication in your eyes.

Keep track of the number of sprays used from each container. Discard the container after you have used the number of sprays specified on the package.

This medication should be used as needed for a bleeding episode but typically no more often than once every 48 hours or at most every 24 hours. Do not use it more frequently or for longer than prescribed without your doctor's approval. Your doctor will prescribe the total dose and how it is to be given. Follow those instructions exactly. If using before surgery, give the dose 2 hours before the procedure.

A parent or other responsible adult should supervise a child using this medication. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Limit drinking of water or other fluids for 24 hours after using this medication. Consult your doctor for details.

Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Tell your doctor if your bleeding is not controlled.
