Abstract
Three children with idiopathic partial central diabetes insipidus were treated with chlorpropamide. All responded to therapy satisfactorily. No untoward side effects were noted. On follow up, their urinary volumes and osmolalities were normal. The mechanism of action, dosage and side effects of chlorpropamide are reviewed.
