Updated: 

Noctiva is a prescription medication used to control frequent nighttime urination in adults who awaken at least 2 times per night to urinate. 

Noctiva belongs to a group of drugs called antidiuretic hormones. They work by replacing vasopressin, a hormone that is normally produced in the body to help balance the amount of water and salt.

Noctiva comes as a liquid that is administered as a nasal spray. It is usually used nightly about 30 minutes before bedtime.

Common side effects of Noctiva include nasal discomfort, stuffy nose, and sneezing.

Noctiva can also cause dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Noctiva affects you.

WARNING: HYPONATREMIA

Noctiva may cause serious and possibly life-threatening hyponatremia (low level of sodium in your blood). Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had a low level of sodium in your blood, are thirsty much of the time, drink large amounts of fluids, or if you have syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH; condition in which the body produces too much of a certain natural substance that causes the body to retain water), or kidney disease. 

Noctiva is contraindicated in patients at increased risk of severe hyponatremia. Tell your doctor if you are taking a loop diuretic ("water pills") such as furosemide (Lasix), or torsemide (Demadex); an inhaled steroid such as beclomethasone (Beconase, QNasl, Qvar), budesonide (Pulmicort, Rhinocort, Uceris), fluticasone (Advair, Flonase, Flovent), or mometasone (Asmanex, Nasonex); or an oral steroid such as dexamethasone, methylprednisolone (Medrol), or prednisone (Rayos). 

Your doctor will order tests to monitor your sodium levels before and during your treatment to check your body's response to Noctiva. If hyponatremia occurs, Noctiva may need to be temporarily or permanently discontinued

Talk to your doctor about the risk(s) of using Noctiva.
