It is mandatory to limit to a minimum the intake of fluid 1 hour before admission and within 8 hours after taking the drug in patients with primary nocturnal enuresis and nocturia. Failure to adhere to the rules of taking the drug may cause fluid retention in the body and / or hyponatremia, which can be manifested by the following symptoms: headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, weight gain, in severe cases - cerebral edema, convulsions and coma. The safety of the drug during long-term admission in cases of nocturnal enuresis has not been investigated. Patients should be carefully instructed about the need to comply with the regime of fluid intake. It is necessary to warn the patient about the need to avoid overloading with liquid and stop taking desmopressin against the background of vomiting and diarrhea, until the water balance is restored. Before starting treatment, make sure the patient agrees to limit fluid intake.
The risk of hyponatremic convulsions caused by hyponatremia can be minimized if the recommended initial dose of desmopressin is used and the concomitant use of drugs that increase the secretion of antidiuretic hormone is avoided.
For the diagnosis of nocturnal polyuria in patients with nicture 2 days before the start of treatment, it is necessary to monitor the frequency and volume of urination. The increase in urination at night, exceeding the capacity of the bladder or exceeding 1/3 of the daily volume of urine, is considered as nocturnal polyuria.
When receiving desmopressin for the treatment of nocturnal enuresis, there were cases of cerebral edema and seizures in healthy children and adolescents. Based on the available information, it can be concluded that the risk of developing cerebral edema and seizures is greatest in the first week of taking the drug.
Most often, hyponatremia occurs in elderly patients (over 65 years) with diabetes insipidus with an initially low concentration of sodium in the blood plasma and polyuria 2,8-3 liters per day. Preparation Antiqua Rapid used them with extreme caution. When using the drug in these cases, it is necessary to determine the concentration of sodium in the blood plasma before the start of the drug, 3 days after the start of the dose and at each dose increase. It is necessary to monitor the patient's condition during the entire period of taking the drug Rapid Antique.
Antikva preparation Rapid should be used with caution in patients with chronic renal failure, fibrosis of the bladder, cystic fibrosis, coronary heart disease, hypertension, with a potential risk of increased intracranial pressure; violation of water-electrolyte balance; patients with risk of thrombosis; in pregnancy, including pre-eclampsia; in elderly patients (over 65 years of age) when used to treat diabetes insipidus. In patients with hypertension or chronic kidney disease, the symptoms described in the section "Side effect" may develop.

Patients and, when using the drug in children, their parents should be informed about the need to limit fluid intake and stopping desmopressin in case of headache and / or nausea, vomiting, systemic infectious diseases and fever, and do not resume until normal water levels Electrolyte balance.
To reduce the risk of developing hyponatremia or fluid retention, it is necessary to reduce fluid intake in the following cases:
1 when taking medications that lead to the syndrome of inadequate production of antidiuristic hormone (tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, chlorpromazine, chlorpropamide and carbazepine);
2 with the concomitant use of NSAIDs.
In the course of treatment, weight changes should be monitored.
The use of the drug in elderly patients (65 years of age and starting) for symptomatic therapy with nocturia is contraindicated.
One should assess the presence of bladder dysfunction and urethral obstruction before starting treatment. In cases of acute incontinence, dysuria and / or nocturia, urinary tract infection, with a suspected bladder or prostate tumor, with polydipsia and decompensated diabetes mellitus, it is necessary to diagnose and treat these conditions and diseases before starting treatment with Antiqua Rapid .
