What's an effective bedwetting medication?

Bed wetting alarm: The safest most effective means of treating mono symptomatic bed wetting is the enuresis alarm. It has no side effects, requires no monthly copays, and never expires. It will cure about 85% of pts who awaken. Ddavp (desmopressin) is the most commonly prescribed medication for this condition and is relatively safe but can lead to water intoxication and electrolyte abnormalities among other side effects.

Risks benefits: As noted by the prior responses there are risks and benefits of any medication. A former associate at our office wrote a great article years ago on behavioral treatment of bedwetting that still applies today: http://cpancf.Com/articles_files/goodnightbedwetting.Asp.
