Committee Recommendations (1)

06 Mar 19 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

The Surrey and North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (APC) recommends desmopressin (Noqdirna) as a treatment option for idiopathic noturnal polyuria.

Desmopressin (Noqdirna) is a licensed product and should be prescibed as an alternative to other, off label desmopressin preparations.

Desmopressin (Noqdirna) will be assigned a BLUE (no information sheet) traffic light status and specialists in secondary care will be required to prescribe at least 1 month of desmopressin prior to requesting transfer of care with the patients primary care provider.

The attached nocturia treatment pathway has been developed in conjunction with colleagues at Ashford & St Peters Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and is expected to compliment the information all ready available for prescribers on this page. See below for further information
