Watch for a New Desmopressin Nasal Spray (Noctiva) for Nocturia

May 2018

Noctiva (nok-TEE-vah) will be a "new" desmopressin nasal spray for ADULTS who wake frequently at night to urinate.

It delivers a LOW desmopressin dose... 0.83 mcg or 1.66 mcg...compared to at least 10 mcg with other desmopressin sprays(DDAVP, etc).

Noctiva is the first med approved for adults with nocturia...although desmopressin tabs have been tried for years.
