At the outset, it should be noted that all the medicines mentioned in the question are only available with a prescription, so please follow your doctor's instructions.
As a pharmacist, I am not able to provide information about a specific treatment without precise medical data. I will try to give you some general information.
Minirinmelt is a medicine containing desmopressin, which is sometimes used to treat certain neurological conditions, such as urinary incontinence or to regulate the body's fluid balance. The dosage of this medicine, the frequency of administration and the duration of treatment are matters that are usually individually adjusted by the doctor, depending on the specific case of the patient.
For accurate information on dosage and duration of treatment, it is best to consult the doctor who prescribed this medication or the doctor who is caring for you after brain tumor surgery. If you do not have the possibility of an in-person visit, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the medicine at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it after presenting a prescription:
