Noct. enuresis RX: The drug desmopressin acetate (ddavp) boosts levels of a natural hormone (anti-diuretic hormone, or adh) that forces the body to make less urine at night. Although DDAVP has few side effects, the most serious is the potential for seizures. This can happen if you drink too much fluids when taking the medication. Oxybutinin may also 'relax bladder' with 'small bladder'.

Consult urologist.: In mean time get urine tested for infection or presence of sugar (to rule out diabetes) stop drinking after dinner. Set an alrm for 2 - 3 hours after you go to bed. Try a bedwetting alarm (malem, wet stop, nytone etc). You might need medication such as desmopressi ( safe synthetic hormone) or long-acting bladder anticholinergic such as oxybutinin er, detrol, vesicare (solifenacin) etc.
