I now have comprehensive information. Here is a complete answer:
Allopathy Medicines for Excessive Urination (Diabetes Insipidus)
Your question about "excessive urination due to atmosphere" most likely refers to Diabetes Insipidus (DI) - a condition where the body passes large volumes of very dilute urine (up to 12 L/day), caused by a lack of or resistance to ADH (Anti-Diuretic Hormone / Vasopressin). The treatment depends on the type of DI.
Type 1: Central (Pituitary/Neurogenic) Diabetes Insipidus
(Brain doesn't produce enough ADH)
| Drug | Dose | Route | Interval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desmopressin (DDAVP) - 1st choice | 10-20 mcg | Intranasal spray | Every 12-24 hrs |
| Desmopressin (DDAVP) - oral | 0.1-0.8 mg | Oral tablet | Every 12 hrs |
| Desmopressin - injection | 1-4 mcg | Subcutaneous | Every 12-24 hrs |
| Aqueous Vasopressin | 5-10 units | Subcutaneous/IM | Every 4-6 hrs |
| Chlorpropamide (partial DI) | 250-500 mg | Oral | Every 24 hrs |
| Clofibrate (partial DI) | 500 mg | Oral | Every 6-8 hrs |
| Carbamazepine (partial DI) | - | Oral | - |
Desmopressin (DDAVP) is the first-line and most widely used drug. It is a synthetic analogue of ADH that acts on V2 receptors to increase water reabsorption in the kidney collecting ducts.

Type 2: Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus
(Kidneys don't respond to ADH)
Desmopressin does NOT work here. Instead:
| Drug | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Hydrochlorothiazide (Thiazide diuretic) | Reduces urine output by decreasing kidney filtration rate |
| Indomethacin (NSAID) | Reduces prostaglandin synthesis, decreases solute delivery to distal tubule |
| Ibuprofen / Naproxen (NSAIDs) | Same mechanism as indomethacin |
| Low-salt + low-protein diet | Reduces urine volume |

- Mayo Clinic - Diabetes Insipidus Treatment
Type 3: Gestational Diabetes Insipidus
(During pregnancy - placental enzyme destroys ADH)
- Desmopressin is safe and effective (it resists breakdown by the placental enzyme vasopressinase).
Summary
| Type of DI | First-Line Drug |
|---|---|
| Central DI | Desmopressin (DDAVP) |
| Nephrogenic DI | Thiazide diuretics + NSAIDs |
| Gestational DI | Desmopressin |
| Partial Central DI | Desmopressin + Chlorpropamide / Carbamazepine |
Important note: "Excessive urination due to atmosphere" (polydipsia-polyuria) could also refer to Primary Polydipsia (compulsive water drinking), which has no specific drug treatment - behavioral management is recommended. Always get a proper diagnosis before starting any medicine.
