Desmopressin carries a black box warning for the risk of severe hyponatremia, which can lead to seizures, coma, or even death. This risk is due to the drug's potential to cause water retention and dilutional hyponatremia. Patients using desmopressin should be closely monitored for signs of electrolyte imbalance, and fluid intake may need to be restricted to mitigate this risk.
