Are dDAVP tablets as effective as the nasal spray?
At effective doses, dDAVP tablets are not less expensive than dDAVP nasal spray. They are more convenient and often as effective as the spray. However, in some patients, their effects are more erratic owing to variations in absorption from the gut. This variability sometimes can be prevented or reduced by taking the tablets on an empty stomach, but other times it is necessary to go back to the nasal spray.
