【 摘 要 】

Nocturia is a condition that has a tremendous impact on a patient’s health and wellbeing. Getting up 2 or more times a night to urinate fragments sleep, preventing deep, restorative stages of the sleep cycle. With safer and more effective therapies, nocturia is a treatable condition that no longer should be overlooked. The simplicity of directly targeting the cause of nocturia, the overproduction of urine (ie, nocturnal polyuria) should be considered. Noctiva™ (desmopressin acetate) nasal spray (Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc, Chesterfield, MO), a novel FDA-approved microdose desmopressin nasal spray, can reduce nighttime urine production and potentially mitigate the potential harm of nocturia.
