This helps to manage these symptoms in diabetes insipidus. In Bed-wetting Minirin Nasal Spray contains a hormone vasopressin, that acts on the kidneys and reduces the frequency and amount of urine produced by the kidneys. This helps to treat bedwetting in children. Bedwetting can be uncomfortable as well as embarrassing for the children and also their parents.
