Diabetes insipidus is treated by replacing the antidiuretic hormone by administering desmopressin acetate (DDAVP), desmopressin (Stimate), lypressin (Diapid), vasopressin (aqueous Pitressin), and vasopressin tannate/oil (Pitressin Tannate). [Pg.342]

Vasopressin (Pitressin) may be administered either subcutaneously or intramuscularly. It has a duration of action of 2 to 8 hours. Vasopressin tannate (pitressin tannate) is a suspension and should be injected intramuscularly only. It has a duration of action of 2 to 3 days. Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) is used topically. Lypressin is administered as an intranasal spray. All these agents may be used in the treatment of central diabetes insipidus (vasopressin sensitive) (see also Figure 102). [Pg.400]

Vasopressin Tannate. Vasopressin tannate (Pitressin Tannatc) is a water-in.soluble tannate of vasopressin administered intramuscularly (I.S to 5 pre.ssor units daily) for its prolonged duration of action by the slow release of vasopre.s-sin. It is particularly useful for patients who have diabetes insipidus, but it should never be used intravenously. [Pg.847]
