    Antidiuretic Hormones

    by Cathy Parkes December 09, 2019

    Antidiuretic hormones (ex: vasopressin and desmopressin) are used to treat Diabetes Insipidus. These medications decrease urine output and increase urine osmolarity. HINT: "Vasopressin and desmopressin will supress all that urine!"
    Side effects can include overhydration and a pounding headache.
