Look for Noctiva for Frequent Nighttime Urination in Adults

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).

Expect Noctiva to be saved as a last resort for nighttime urination. Treating other possible causes, such as overactive bladder...or trying nondrug measures, such as wearing compression stockings during the day...should usually be tried first.
