Desmopressin is a synthetic drug form of vasopressin hormone, which is responsible for regulating the body's water balance and urine output. Diabetes insipidus results from an inadequate production or secretion of vasopressin. Desmopressin helps to reduce urine volume and increase water retention in the body.
