Core Tip	Recent data suggest that desmopressin in its oral formulations offers significant improvements in nocturia as well as daytime storage symptoms in female patients. The treatment rationale for nocturia is that nocturnal polyuria due to inadequate antidiuresis is a major contributing factor to nocturia. In the case of daytime storage symptoms, desmopressin taken on demand can postpone their manifestation by delaying bladder filling. Desmopressin is well tolerated and the risk of hyponatremia is low with appropriate dosing, based on a lower minimum effective dose in females compared to males.
