A member asked:
What's the difference between vasopressin vs desmopressin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Manmade v. natural: Vasopressin is the human produced hormone, while the long-acting synthetic analogue of this is desmopressin. But they have very similar effects -- although nothing is as good as the body's own creation.
