In the article on management of nocturia (Sep/Oct 2011;2(5):35–7), the doses of desmopressin given on page 36 were incorrect. The following statements are correct: treatment with desmopressin should be initiated at a dose of 50–100 micrograms orally, with a weekly dose escalation to a maximum of 400 micrograms; the intranasal formulation provides 10 micrograms/spray, and can be used up to a maximum dose of 40 micrograms/day.
