DDAVP tablets are used to help manage kidney function and for the management of temporary polyuria (frequent urination) and polydipsia (excessive thirst) following head trauma or surgery in the pituitary region. For more information please see: http://www.drugs.com/cons/ddavp.html
Most likely your doctor has prescribed these medications to deal with temporary conditions affecting your health, but the best way to know your doctor's exact intentions is to ask.
