[Experience with the tegretol treatment of diabetes insipidus]

The use of tegretol in a 24-hour dose of 200-600 mg in 12 patients with diabetes incipidus led to the improvement of their general condition, lesser thirst, reduction of the 24-hour diuresis and increase of specific gravity of the urine. A positive effect of prescribing tegretol together with chlorpropamide was noted in a patient with diabetes mellitus and incipidus.
