Bedwetting (Enuresis) in Adolescents

Your doctor may recommend a medication such as the DDAVP tablet. The DDAVP tablet can help achieve dryness in some children with PNE. However, it also has the potential for serious side effects and should be used with caution and only under close supervision by a physician. The FDA has recently placed a ban on treating PNE with DDAVP in the nasal spray form. Behavioral treatments are most effective and with the right approach for the right child, most school-age children can be dry within 12 weeks.

Treatment can improve a child's self-concept, even if total dryness is not achieved.
