Anastasiia Shalko

Family medicine12 years of experience

Dr. Anastasiia Shalko is a general practitioner with a background in both paediatrics and general medicine. She graduated from Bogomolets National Medical University in Kyiv and completed her paediatric internship at the P.L. Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education. After working as a paediatrician in Kyiv, she relocated to Spain, where she has been practising general medicine since 2015, providing care for both adults and children.

Her work focuses on urgent, short-term medical concerns – situations where patients need quick guidance, symptom assessment and clear next steps. She helps people understand whether their symptoms require in-person evaluation, home management or a change in treatment. Common reasons for booking an online consultation include:

  • acute respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever)
  • viral illnesses such as colds and seasonal infections
  • gastrointestinal complaints (nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, gastroenteritis)
  • sudden changes in how a child or adult feels
  • questions about existing treatment and whether adjustments are needed
  • renewal of prescriptions when clinically appropriate
Dr. Shalko works specifically with urgent and short-term problems, providing practical recommendations and helping patients determine the safest next step. She explains symptoms clearly, guides patients through decision-making and offers straightforward medical advice for everyday acute issues.

She does not provide long-term management of chronic conditions, ongoing follow-up or comprehensive care plans for complex long-term illnesses. Her consultations are designed for acute symptoms, sudden concerns and situations where timely medical input is important.

With clinical experience in both paediatrics and general medicine, Dr. Shalko confidently supports adults and children. Her communication style is clear, simple and reassuring, helping patients feel informed and supported throughout the consultation.

  • 4. Possible side effects
  • 5. How to store Adin
  • 6. Contents of the pack and other information

1. What Adin is and what it is used for

Adin contains desmopressin, which acts similarly to the natural antidiuretic hormone of the pituitary gland, arginine vasopressin. Desmopressin is characterized by a significantly prolonged antidiuretic effect (reducing urine production) and a complete lack of vasoconstrictive effect at therapeutic doses. Adin is used to treat:

  • central diabetes insipidus;
  • primary nocturnal enuresis in children over 6 years of age with normal urine concentrating ability;
  • nocturia in adults associated with nocturnal polyuria (the volume of urine produced at night exceeds the bladder capacity).

2. Important information before taking Adin

When not to take Adin

  • if you are allergic to desmopressin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if you have been diagnosed with psychogenic or habitual polydipsia (excessive thirst);
  • if you have heart failure or other diseases that require the use of diuretics;
  • if you have moderate or severe renal impairment with a creatinine clearance below 50 ml/min;
  • if you have hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood);
  • if you have been diagnosed with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Adin, discuss it with your doctor. Your doctor will exercise caution in the following cases:

  • if the medicine is taken simultaneously with other medicines; see the chapter "Concomitant use of other medicines";
  • if you are over 65 years old;
  • if you have low sodium levels in your blood;
  • if there is a risk of increased intracranial pressure;
  • if you have a water and/or electrolyte imbalance.

Before starting treatment, it is necessary to rule out severe urinary bladder disorders and bladder outlet obstruction. Special precautions should be taken in patients with renal impairment and cardiovascular diseases. In the event of acute illnesses with water and electrolyte disturbances, such as generalized infection, feverish diseases, gastroenteritis, Adin should be discontinued and the doctor consulted.

Children

Adin is used to treat central diabetes insipidus and primary nocturnal enuresis in children over 6 years of age with normal urine concentrating ability.

Adin and other medicines

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take. In particular, inform your doctor about taking:

  • tricyclic antidepressants;
  • selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors;
  • chlorpromazine;
  • carbamazepine;
  • oral hypoglycemic agents from the sulfonylurea group, e.g. chlorpropamide;
  • non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
  • loperamide.

The above-mentioned medicines may lead to excessive water retention in the body or a decrease in sodium levels in the blood.

Adin with food and drink

During treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis in children and nocturia in adults, fluid intake should be limited to a minimum from 1 hour before taking the medicine to 8 hours after taking it. Taking Adin without simultaneous fluid restriction may lead to excessive water retention in the body or a decrease in sodium levels in the blood, which may, but does not have to, manifest as headaches, nausea, vomiting, weight gain, or in severe cases, convulsions. The above warning does not apply to patients taking Adin for the treatment of central diabetes insipidus. Taking the medicine with food may reduce the strength and duration of the medicine's effect.

Adin in patients with renal and/or hepatic impairment

Before taking the medicine, consult your doctor.

Adin in elderly patients

It is not recommended to start treatment for nocturia in patients over 65 years old.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a child, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Adin has no influence or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

3. How to take Adin

This medicine should always be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you are unsure, consult your doctor. Adin should be placed under the tongue, where the medicine dissolves without the need for water. Treatment of central diabetes insipidus with Adin: The doctor determines the dosage individually for each patient, but the total daily dose is usually within the range of 120 to 720 micrograms sublingually. Treatment usually starts with 60 micrograms of desmopressin sublingually 3 times a day. Subsequent doses are determined by the doctor based on the patient's response. In most patients, the maintenance dose is 60 to 120 micrograms of desmopressin sublingually 3 times a day. Treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis in children with Adin: Treatment usually starts with a dose of 120 micrograms. The medicine is given sublingually once a day before bedtime. If this dose is insufficient, the doctor may prescribe an increase in the dose to 240 micrograms. Fluid intake should be limited to a minimum from 1 hour before taking the medicine to 8 hours after taking it. After three months of treatment, the doctor should prescribe a break in taking the medicine for at least one week and assess whether further treatment is necessary. Treatment of nocturia in adults with Adin: Treatment usually starts with a dose of 60 micrograms. The medicine is given sublingually once a day before bedtime. If this dose is not sufficiently effective after one week of treatment, the doctor may prescribe an increase in the dose to 120 micrograms and then to 240 micrograms, with weekly intervals when increasing the dose. Fluid intake should be limited to a minimum from 1 hour before taking the medicine to 8 hours after taking it.

Overdose of Adin

Taking a higher dose than recommended increases the risk of excessive water retention in the body or a decrease in sodium levels in the blood, which may, but does not have to, manifest as headaches, nausea, vomiting, weight gain, or in severe cases, convulsions. If you take a higher dose than recommended, consult your doctor immediately.

Missed dose of Adin

Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
