Desmopressin belongs to a class of medications called hormones. It works by replacing a hormone, vasopressin that is normally produced in the body to help balance the amount of water and salt. It is used to control the symptoms of diabetes insipidus (a condition in which the body produces a large amount of urine). Desmopressin may cause side effects such as diarrhea, abnormal thinking, and loss of appetite.
