Desmopressin Orally Disintegrating Tablet in Japanese Patients with Central Diabetes Insipidus: a Retrospective Study of Switching from Intranasal Desmopressin Endocrine Journal 2014, 61 (8), 773-779 ORIGINAL Desmopressin orally disintegrating tablet in Japanese patients with central diabetes insipidus: A retrospective study of switching from intranasal desmopressin Takaaki Murakami, Tomonobu Hatoko, Takuo Nambu, Yuki Matsuda, Koji Matsuo, Shin Yonemitsu, Seiji Muro and Shogo Oki Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Osaka Red Cross Hospital, Osaka 543-0027, Japan Abstract. Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) is a rare disease characterized by polyuria and polydipsia. Patients with CDI have been successfully treated with desmopressin administered either by intranasal instillation or oral tablets. Recently, a desmopressin orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) was approved as the first oral desmopressin tablet for CDI treatment in Japan. We conducted a retrospective single-center study of 15 Japanese CDI patients treated with desmopressin ODT therapy, which aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching to desmopressin ODT and to analyze the clinical factors that affect the desmopressin ODT dose in Japanese patients. The daily mean dose of desmopressin ODT was 104 ± 46.30 μg and the mean ratio of oral to nasal desmopressin dose was 17.0 ± 7.6, both of which are considerably smaller than those of previous dose-titration study. Moreover, the nasal spray group needed significantly smaller ratios of nasal to oral desmopressin than the nasal drop group (11.7 ± 6.5 vs 21.0 ± 5.5, p = 0.02). The ratio of oral to nasal desmopressin dose had a significant inverse correlation with the required nasal desmopressin dose. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated the ratios of nasal to oral desmopressin dose depended on intranasal formulations. In conclusion, desmopressin ODT was safe and effective in the treatment of Japanese adult CDI patients. When switching to ODT, we should care about the possibility that patients require smaller ODT doses than what was initially expected based on previously published data and also nasal formulations in terms of their differences of expected switching ratio.

The nasal route circumvents hepatic first pass elimination associated with the oral delivery: it is easily accessible and suitable for self-medication. The large surface area of the nasal mucosa affords a rapid onset of therapeutic effect, potential for direct-to-central nervous system delivery, no first-pass metabolism, and non-invasiveness; all of which may maximize patient convenience, comfort, and compliance.

Effective for dates of service on and after October 1, 2018, the Health Care Authority will make the following changes: Change Due to the implementation of the Apple Health Preferred Drug List (PDL), a PDL that applies to fee-for-service (FFS) clients as well as Apple Health managed care enrollees, the following changes have occurred: On the Fee-For-Service only Preferred Drug List • Drug classes that are currently on the Apple Health PDL have been removed. These classes and the drug statuses can be found on the Apple Health Preferred Drug List. On the Apple Health Preferred Drug List • New drug classes have been added. This means drugs not previously on the PDL have been added with preferred and nonpreferred statuses. Some drugs may also have additional prior authorization (PA) requirements. • For existing drug classes, preferred statuses may have changed. Some drugs may have additional PA requirements that did not previously require PA.

Summary Povidone Iodine (Iodine with water soluble polymer Polyvinylpyrolidone) or PVP-I is a proven and time trusted antiseptic agent having best possible (99.99%) virucidal effect in it‟s only 0.23% concentration, against all viruses including SARS-Co, MERS-CoV; even in SARS-COV-2 due to it‟s nonspecific mode of action for virus killing and having no resistance [1,2]. Corona virus is transmitted by/via respiratory droplets or aerosol, produced from sneezing or coughing of infected persons to healthy individual through mouth and nose mainly [5, 6]. The routes of entry of coronavirus in human body are mouth, nose and eye. PVP-I products for gargling the throat and spraying or washing the nose may have a preventive effect on COVID-19 and if it is proved in this study following human trial, this will be a landmark research in COVID-19 pandemic. In line of this, PVP-I containing oro-nasal spray, proposed Bangasafe, which should be regarded as PONS (Povidone Iodine oro-nasal spray) in this protocol, has been developed and proposed to use against corona virus disease.

  • DDAVP Nasal Spray Is Provided As an Aqueous Solution for Intranasal Use
    DDAVP® Nasal Spray (desmopressin acetate) Rx only DESCRIPTION DDAVP® Nasal Spray (desmopressin acetate) is 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: C46H64N14O12S2•C2H4O2•3H2O 1-(3-mercaptopropionic acid)-8-D-arginine vasopressin monoacetate (salt) trihydrate. DDAVP Nasal Spray is provided as an aqueous solution for intranasal use. Each mL contains: Desmopressin acetate 0.1 mg Sodium Chloride 7.5 mg Citric acid monohydrate 1.7 mg Disodium phosphate dihydrate 3.0 mg Benzalkonium chloride solution (50%) 0.2 mg The DDAVP Nasal Spray compression pump delivers 0.1 mL (10 mcg) of DDAVP (desmopressin acetate) per spray. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY DDAVP contains as active substance desmopressin acetate, a synthetic analogue of the natural hormone arginine vasopressin. One mL (0.1 mg) of intranasal DDAVP has an antidiuretic activity of about 400 IU; 10 mcg of desmopressin acetate is equivalent to 40 IU. 1. The biphasic half-lives for intranasal DDAVP were 7.8 and 75.5 minutes for the fast and slow phases, compared with 2.5 and 14.5 minutes for lysine vasopressin, another form of the hormone used in this condition. As a result, intranasal DDAVP provides a prompt onset of antidiuretic action with a long duration after each administration. 1 2. The change in structure of arginine vasopressin to DDAVP has resulted in a decreased vasopressor action and decreased actions on visceral smooth muscle relative to the enhanced antidiuretic activity, so that clinically effective antidiuretic doses are usually below threshold levels for effects on vascular or visceral smooth muscle.
