Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Pharmacological treatment of enuresis commonly includes desmopressin (DDAVP), oxybutynin (Ditropan), various stimulants, indomethacin (Indocin), and/or SSRI antidepressants. Limited evidence exists for the use of imipramine (Tofranil). None of the other drugs are appropriate to treat enuresis.
