Stimate Nasl Side Effects

Headache, runny/stuffy nose, nausea, upset stomach, or flushing of the face may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Desmopressin reduces the amount of urine your kidneys make. It may affect the balance of water and minerals in your body. Desmopressin can infrequently cause a low level of sodium in the blood, which can be serious and possibly life-threatening. Drinking too much water or other fluids increases the risk of having a low level of sodium in the blood. Therefore, follow your doctor's directions for limiting fluids. Seek immediate medical attention if you have any of these unlikely but serious symptoms of a low level of sodium in the blood:

loss of appetite
severe nausea
vomiting
severe headache
muscle weakness/spasms/cramps
sudden weight gain
unusual tiredness
unusual severe drowsiness
mental/mood changes (such as confusion, hallucinations, irritability)
loss of consciousness
seizures
slow/shallow breathing

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including:

rash
itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat)
severe dizziness
trouble breathing
