my 6 year old son is being prescribed desmomelt, he wets the bed at least twice a night so was told this would help stop the bedwetting. My concerns are what are the side effects of this and also my son had HSP last year and took a lot of steroids, I really didn t want to give him more types of medication unless really necessary!!!
