effective doses, dDAVP tablets are not less expensive than dDAVP nasal spray. They are more convenient and often as effective as the spray. However, in some patients, their effects are more erratic owing to variations in absorption from the gut. This variability sometimes can be prevented or reduced by taking the tablets on an empty stomach, but other times it is necessary to go back to the nasal spray. I am not aware that dDAVP has damaged the sense of smell or taste in anyone.

The dDAVP tablets are less well absorbed than the nasal spray but that problem is overcome simply by taking more of the drug. The tablets sometimes work less consistently than the nasal spray, but because they are also more convenient it would be worthwhile to try them. I have CDI and take dDAVP nasal spray twice daily. I am a firefighter and I want to know how the lack of vasopressin affects the body in extreme heat/excessive sweating.

Cortef in the dose will interfere with dDAVP. In some people, dDAVP is not well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Try taking it on an empty stomach. If that does not provide good control with reasonable doses (i.e., up to 0.2 mg three times a day), switch to the nasal spray.

No. This product was devised in Australia by a company that is well known for its aggressive marketing. One of the active ingredients is chlorpromazine which is a relatively cheap drug used as an anti psychotic treatment.

In one large study among children aged 15-85 months, the nasal-spray flu vaccine (LAIV) reduced the chance of influenza illness by 92% compared with placebo. In a study among adults, the participants were not specifically tested for influenza.

The flu shot is an inactivated vaccine (containing a killed virus) while the nasal-spray flu vaccine (sometimes called LAIV for live attenuated influenza vaccine) contains a weakened live virus. Since the flu shot is made from the killed influenza virus, it can't give you the flu. You could have side effects from the flu shot, however. These might include a sore arm, fever, and body aches, but they'll last for only a day or so and will be much milder than flu symptoms.

Simply, the spray is applied on a large surface area of the pets tongue. This helps to guarantee absorption as well as increase compliance. Our research has shown that pet owners prefer spray technology during times that it is difficult to administer the standard ‘pellets’ (travel sickness in cars, time spent with your pet outside, in the field.

There was a product devised in Australia by a company that is well known for its aggressive marketing.

Pesticides properly applied to water kill 95% - 100% of the mosquito larvae and, thus, are very effective. It is more difficult to tell how effective sprays to kill mosquitoes are, because it is not known exactly how many mosquitoes are present before spraying. Adult sprays applied by aircraft are very effective because the spray covers a very large area, usually several square miles. Reductions of 90% are common.

Judicious use of a decongestant nasal spray such as Neosynephrine, used according to directions for three to seven days, is also advisable in many patients. Extreme caution must be used in order to prevent worsening of symptoms or addiction to these sprays. Note that there is no risk of addiction with the prescription nasal sprays, but there can be other side effects - check with your doctor.

Pepper spray is effective in most situations, but not all. If somebody is under the influence of drugs or alcohol or has special training, (i.e. military or martial arts training) he may not be as effected as others.

The spray is more effective than the cream, because it has more concentration and the effect is much faster than of the cream. It is used only once in the morning and you only have to spray it, and leave it to dry, so it's very convenient for busy women. However, we recommend the use of Breast mask with Breast Spray, because Breast mask is used at night therefore you can gain the effect for the whole day.

Yes the spray is more effective. The concentration of Pueraria is much higher therefore the effects are much quicker to achieve.

There are no side effects of dDAVP except water intoxication. If you are experiencing unusual psychological changes on treatment, you should have your plasma sodium checked to see if it is low, a sign of water intoxication.

The nasal-spray flu vaccine (sometimes called LAIV for Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine) is a new flu vaccine that was licensed in 2003. It is different from the other licensed influenza vaccine (also called the "flu shot") because it contains weakened live influenza viruses instead of killed viruses and is administered by nasal spray instead of injection.

People with a medical condition that places them at high risk for complications from influenza, including those with chronic heart or lung disease, such as asthma or reactive airways disease; people with medical conditions such as diabetes or kidney failure; or people with illnesses that weaken the immune system, or who take medications that can weaken the immune system. No. The nasal-spray flu vaccine is approved for use only in healthy people between the ages of 5 and 49 years.
