A member asked:
Can desmopressin (ddavp) be taken with alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: While it is possible it can be taken, the effects of medications should not ever be potentially altered by alcohol. Alcohol is a diuretic, and desmopressing is trying to concentrate the urine to control volume of fluid and osmolarity. So these would compete with one another.

Think my dr. incorrectly diagnosed me with CDI when I actually have NDI since DDAVP (desmopressin) hasn't worked after increasing dose to 1 mg/night. What to do?
