Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

DDAVP coupons and savings programs
We show the programs that usually fit, cheapest first where we know the price. Private insurance means a plan through work or one you buy yourself. Programs set their own rules, so check the terms before you count on one. We don't save this choice.
eDrugSearch does not offer its own DDAVP coupons. eDrugSearch has no coupons of its own. If you have Medicare, these programs can help:
- Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
- Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)

Yes. The FDA approved the first generic desmopressin acetate tablets in July 2005, and several companies sell them today, including Apotex, Heritage, Novast, Abhai and Aurobindo, rated equivalent to DDAVP. Nordic Pharma also sells desmopressin tablets made under the DDAVP approval.

What is DDAVP used for?
DDAVP (desmopressin) is a man-made form of vasopressin, the hormone that tells your kidneys to hold on to water. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), DDAVP tablets are used:
- To control central diabetes insipidus, and the temporary heavy urination and thirst after head injury or pituitary surgery. They don't work for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
- To manage primary nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting).
The label says the dose must be set for each person, starting at 0.05 mg (half a 0.1 mg tablet) twice a day for diabetes insipidus; most people in studies took 0.1 mg to 0.8 mg a day in divided doses. DDAVP must not be used by people with moderate to severe kidney problems or low blood sodium (hyponatremia), and fluid intake may need to be limited. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order DDAVP from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for DDAVP, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic desmopressin before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Ferring's DDAVP 0.1 mg and 0.2 mg tablets are listed as cancelled since May 2022; only the injection and DDAVP Melt are still marketed (Health Canada, checked 2026-11-12). So we don't show Canadian DDAVP tablet packs, even where a pharmacy still lists them.

Frequently asked questions
How much does DDAVP cost without insurance?
The U.S. list price is $779.20 for 100 tablets of 0.1 mg (about $7.79 each) in the maker's 2026 price filing. Generic desmopressin lists from $73.42 for 100. Online pharmacies abroad charged from $1.36 per tablet of brand DDAVP or Minirin in our latest check (Nov 12, 2026), before shipping.
Is there a generic DDAVP?
Yes. Generic desmopressin acetate tablets have been sold in the U.S. since the mid-2000s from several companies, rated equivalent to DDAVP. Ask your pharmacist whether a generic can fill your prescription.
Is Minirin the same as DDAVP?
Minirin is the name Ferring, the maker of DDAVP, uses for desmopressin in many other countries. Packs made for other countries are not FDA-approved.
Is DDAVP Melt priced here?
No. DDAVP Melt dissolves under the tongue and comes in different strengths. It isn't sold in the U.S., so we compare only the 0.1 mg and 0.2 mg tablets.
How much does DDAVP cost with Medicare?
It depends on your Part D plan's drug list. In 2026, Part D deductibles are capped at $615 and out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs at $2,100 a year. People with limited income can apply for Extra Help.
