Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare condition characterized by excessive thirst and excretion of large amounts of diluted urine. Medications for DI aim to manage its symptoms and underlying causes. Desmopressin, a synthetic form of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin, is a common treatment for central DI. This medication helps the kidneys reabsorb water and reduce excessive urine production.
