A member asked:
My son is 7 and has night time bedwetting. he is going to camp and is anxious about wearing a pull up. is there a diuretic he can have for the night?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
DDAVP (desmopressin): Given at bedtime and intranasal and without administration of evening fluids. A trial before camp would be a good plan. All the best.

Diuretics make U pee: DDAVP (desmopressin) is a brain hormone which causes the kidney to retain water (not let you make pee). It comes in a pill or nose spray but has a variable success rate of about 60%. Imipramine is an antidepressant that can be used at low doses to slow urine production.It is given in the evening and also has a variable effect.Discuss the issue with the kids doc, it is rater common.
