FAQ's on Minirin 0.1mg Tablet 15s

How should Minirin be taken?

Minirin should be taken with small quantity of water, juice or milk. If the child cannot swallow the whole tablet, crush or cut the tablet before giving it to the child. The sublingual tablets or ‘melts’ should be placed below the tongue and then melted tablet should be swallowed.

Does Minirin cure bed wetting?

No, Minirin does not cure bedwetting, but it helps control bedwetting. It works by replacing a hormone (vasopressin) that is normally produced in the body to help balance the amount of water and salt.

How long do I need to give Minirin to my child for bedwetting?

Minirin is usually prescribed for 3 months for bedwetting. After 3 months, your doctor will stop the medicine for a week to assess whether your child still needs Minirin or not.

Is Minirin a diuretic?

No, Minirin is not a diuretic. It is a hormone which helps lower urine output in patients with diabetes insipidus and helps control bedwetting in children. It works by reducing the amount of urine produced by the kidneys, thereby reducing the frequency of urination.

What precautions do I need to take while on Minirin?

Follow all the instructions given by your doctor strictly. Restrict water intake after taking Minirin as drinking too much water can lead to fluid overload, which is a serious side effect. Try not to swallow water while swimming.

Does Minirin make you gain weight?
