DDAVP® Tablets (desmopressin acetate) are a synthetic analogue of the natural pituitary hormone 8-arginine vasopressin (ADH), an antidiuretic hormone affecting renal water conservation. It is chemically defined as follows: Mol. Wt. 1183.34 Empirical Formula: C 46 H 64 N 14 O 12 S 2 ∙C 2 H 4 O 2 ∙3H 2 O 1-(3-mercaptopropionic acid)-8-D-arginine vasopressin monoacetate (salt) trihydrate. DDAVP Tablets contain either 0.1 or 0.2 mg desmopressin acetate. Inactive ingredients include: lactose, potato starch, magnesium stearate and povidone. Chemical Structure

DDAVP Injection (desmopressin acetate) is a synthetic vasopressin analog for intravenous or subcutaneous use. It is chemically defined as follows: Mol. Wt. 1183.34 Empirical Formula: C 46 H 64 N 14 O 12 S 2 ∙C 2 H 4 O 2 ∙3H 2 O 1-(3-mercaptopropionic acid)-8-D-arginine vasopressin monoacetate (salt) trihydrate. DDAVP solution for injection is a sterile solution in a 1 mL single-dose ampule: Each mL contains 4 mcg of desmopressin acetate which is equivalent to 3.6 mcg of desmopressin free base. The inactive ingredients are sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid and water for injection. Sodium chloride is used to adjust tonicity. Hydrochloric acid is used to adjust pH. DDAVP solution for injection is a sterile solution in a 10 mL multiple-dose vial: Each mL contains 4 mcg of desmopressin acetate which is equivalent to 3.6 mcg of desmopressin free base. The inactive ingredients are sodium chloride, chlorobutanol (5 mg per mL), hydrochloric acid and water for injection. Sodium chloride is used to adjust tonicity. Hydrochloric acid is used to adjust pH. Chemical Structure
