Published: July 1997

The effect of food ingestion on the gastrointestinal absorption and antidiuretic action of oral desmopressin (Minirin, DDAVP) was assessed in 16 healthy volunteers, aged 20-35 years. The gastrointestinal absorption of desmopressin was reduced and delayed if administered with or 90 minutes after a meal, but this did not influence the antidiuretic action of the drug, at least for the first 3 hours following desmopressin administration.
