Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | overactive bladder |
| Dosage & duration: | | 5 mgm. by mouth, once a day taken daily for the period of 1 year and ongoing |
| Other conditions: | | pelvic prolapse;mild asthma; allergic rhinitis; hypothyroidism |
| Other drugs taken: | | Allegra; Nasacort; Premarin; Levoxyl; Advair Diskus | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Urinary frequency and urgency have been substantially reduced; I have a vastly improved lifestyle because these problems no longer inhibit my activities. |
| Side effects: | | I experienced mild constipation in the beginning but because I eat a vegetarian diet I have been able to manage this side effect easily by increasing dietary fiber. No other measures have been necessary. |
| Comments: | | My gynecologist changed me to Vesicare when I complained about side effects from the previous Rx I was on for overactive bladder. (These were dry mouth and constipation.) After beginning to take Vesicare daily, I noticed an immediate improvement, i.e., sharp decrease in the negative side effects. I plan to continue the use of Vesicare because there seem to be no prohibitions to its long term use. It may also possibly postpone surgical repair of the pelvic prolapse. |
