On December 4, 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a safety alert for desmopressin, a generic drug used to treat night-time bed-wetting. Sanofi-Aventis sells a drug called DDAVP Nasal Spray *, which is a brand name for the drug. The agency said certain patients are at risk of developing *hyponatremia, which is an abnormally low concentration of sodium in the blood that can cause seizures and death.
