Answer:
Greetings!Diabetes insipidus is unrelated to what is commonly known as diabetes (mellitus). Here are a couple of sites that might give you more information:Medline plus: Diabetes insipidus
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/...Diabetes Insipidus Foundation Inc.
http://www.diabetesinsipidus.org/...MayoClinic.com: Diabetes Insipidus
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diabete...Regarding the side effects of the drug, desmomelt, here is a site (headaches are a side effect):Desmomelt
http://www.urinecontrol.co.uk/prodinfofa...If the headaches are severe, I would strongly recommend your partner returning to the doctor. I suffer from migraines and any medication that increases my headaches, I always search for an alternative.Hope this helps!Many Blessings,
Bridgit

If he has any side effects from the med he should call the doctor to let her/him know. Some people just can't tolerate this med. Best of luck to you and your partner!

Desmopressin may cause side effects. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: upset stomach
headache
stuffy or runny nose
reddening of the skin
stomach cramps
pain in the external genital area (in women)

As someone else said DI is unrelated to diabetes melitus - it should really have a different name.Be especially carefully careful of scam cures like the one at the diabetes zone dot com.

There is a book/s on line called the BNF (British National Formulatory) or (MIMMS). DO an internet search as these two books are used by your GP to prescribe medications.iN THERE IT WILL TELL YOU ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATIONS
