After two patients who had been taking the drug desmopressin died, the FDA has issued a warning that the drug may put children at risk for seizures and death. In addition to the two deaths, the FDA has received 61 post-market reports of seizures in desmopressin patients.
Desmopressin is an antidiuretic that comes in both pill form and as a nasal spray. The drug acts in the kidneys to reduce the amount of urine produced at night.
It is currently unclear whether the use of desmopressin caused the two patients' deaths or any of the other seizures.
In addition to prescriptions for bed-wetting, the drug can be used to control bleeding due to surgery, injuries, or menstral periods in patients with certain diseases (hemophilia A or type 1 von Willebrand disease).
The FDA has issued the following advice to patients currently taking desmopressin:

Then research alarms, we used malem. I suggest narrowing the choice to 2 alarms and letting your child make the final choice. Explain to your child that once you invest in an alarm, he/she must agree to use it each night. I even suggest writing a little contract which you both sign. Remember YOU must wake your child when the alarm goes off for at least a week or two - until your child’s brain is conditioned to wake up to the body’s signal. It takes patience but it is definitely worth the time and effort. My child went from wet every night for 8 years to completely dry every night within two months of consistently using an alarm. Get the books first -they are the key to easiest success. http://www.braveryandgrace.com Then get an alarm and be calm and consistent.
