This medication plays a role in regulating the body's water balance; however, excessive water intake can lead to hyponatremia and water intoxication, which may result in coma in severe cases. Patients with hypersensitivity to this medication, certain kidney dysfunctions, heart failure, or those on diuretics should not use it. Additionally, it should not be administered to patients with lactose intolerance or specific metabolic disorders, and it is not suitable for patients with blood pressure that is not normal for enuresis treatment. Caution should be exercised when used in patients with hypertension, severe atherosclerosis, chronic renal disease, pregnant women, children, and the elderly. These patients should have their sodium levels periodically checked before and after administration. During treatment, fluid intake should be limited, and especially, one should only drink water to the extent of relieving thirst from 1 hour before administration up to 8 hours after administration. This medication may cause side effects such as allergic reactions, headaches, nausea, weight gain, and hyponatremia; if any symptoms occur, immediate consultation with healthcare personnel is advised. There may be interactions when used in conjunction with other medications, so if you are taking antidepressants, diuretics, steroids, or anti-inflammatory analgesics, you must inform your doctor or pharmacist. Women who are pregnant or nursing should make a careful decision considering the effects on uterine contractions or the fetus and are advised to discontinue breastfeeding during treatment. In case of overdose, symptoms such as headaches, nausea, convulsions, and loss of consciousness may occur, and in such cases, it is essential to visit a medical institution for appropriate treatment.
