1. What PRESINEX 0.1 mg tablets are and what they are used for

Presinex tablets work at the level of the kidneys. The kidneys control the body's fluid balance. Presinex tablets are similar to a natural hormone called vasopressin. Vasopressin is secreted in the pituitary gland (an organ in the brain) and regulates the amount of urine produced by the kidneys.

Presinex 0.1 mg tablets are indicated for:

  • Treatment of central diabetes insipidus due to insufficient production of vasopressin, as a result of a primary or acquired alteration in the pituitary gland
  • Treatment of urinary incontinence (nocturnal enuresis) after excluding any physical cause, in patients over 5 years of age with normal urine concentration capacity.

  • If you have habitual or psychogenic polydipsia (excessive thirst)

Special care should be taken to avoid decreased sodium levels in the blood in the following cases:

  • Generalized infections, fever, and diabetes insipidus (inappropriate ADH secretion syndrome)
  • Diseases where diuretic medications are used to increase urine production
  • Treatment with medications that may cause diabetes insipidus on their own, such as antidepressant medications: tricyclic antidepressants, for example, amitriptyline, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, for example, fluoxetine, chlorpromazine, and carbamazepine.
  • Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as acetylsalicylic acid.

Consult your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms or have experienced them before.

3. HOW TO TAKE PRESINEX 0.1 mg tablets

Always take Presinex 0.1 mg tablets exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with them if you are unsure.

Central diabetes insipidus

Your doctor will indicate the most suitable individual dose. Generally, a dose of 0.1 mg to 1.2 mg per day is used. Therefore, in most cases, a treatment program of 1 tablet of Presinex 0.1 mg three times a day would be sufficient. To facilitate swallowing, the tablet can be broken before administration. Both parts should be taken.

Depending on the result, your doctor may adjust the treatment program.

If symptoms of water retention/hyponatremia appear, treatment should be interrupted and the dose adjusted again.

Primary nocturnal enuresis

In the case of using Presinex 0.1 mg tablets for the treatment of urinary incontinence, the full dose should be taken before going to bed.

Your doctor will determine the suitable individual dose. The initial suitable dose is 0.2 mg at bedtime. The dose can be increased to 0.4 mg if the lower dose is not sufficiently active.

Fluid intake should be controlled.

If symptoms or signs of water retention and/or hyponatremia (headache, nausea/vomiting, weight gain, and in severe cases, convulsions) appear, treatment should be interrupted until the patient has recovered. Once treatment is restarted, fluid intake should be strictly controlled.

After 3 months of treatment, the need for continuation is assessed by interrupting it for at least 1 week.

If you take more PRESINEX 0.1 mg tablets than you should:

Consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or the Toxicology Information Service, telephone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount used.

If you forget to take PRESINEX 0.1 mg tablets

If you forget to take your tablets, please consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice. Do not take a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose.
