I have been diagnosed with an over-active bladder which causes incontinence and pain after urination.A urologist has prescribed medication containing Tolterodine tartrate.Should I be taking this if I am already on medication for Atrial Fibrillation?Thanks.
Drugs such as oxybutynin chloride (Ditropan®) and tolterodine (Detrusitol®, Detrol LA®) are taken orally, once a day, for overactive bladder. You can consult your doctor for these options. Also, I suggest you can initiate antibiotics like ofloxacin for better management of the infection.
This was not it. Almost a week ago, my doctor prescribed Detrol LA 2mg (Tolterodine L-tartrate 2mg) capsules, to be taken once a day. I first started taking them a week and a half ago, and they don't seem to have had an effect. It's for a condition called "overactive bladder", however, the symptoms of this condition don't really match mine.
I also drink lots of water every day, and I don't have diabetes.
I was told detrol or other meds to help incontinence would not help with stress incontinence. Thank you. It is a very big and embarrising problem for me. I am single and in my mid 40's. I have read about this injection that can be administered but at this time I do not have insurance am I am unable to afford it.
Hi,
My doctor had tried me on Vesicare but the side effects out weight the benefits. I was given Buscopan and Detrol LA to cope with bladder problems. I had a lot of problems with pain spasms and urgency. The Buscopan and Detrol LA help but in a case where I have severe pain, I now use Morphine.
My neurologist recently put me on a Detrol LA for a week, then had me add Flomax. I noticed a slight improvement with the Detrol, but when I added the Flomax things urinary got dramatically better. But, shortly after starting the Flomax, I discovered that I did not produce any ejaculate! Not that sex is a big thing with me (staying upright while standing takes precidence), but it is still an important part of life (if only rarely).
My symptoms did not improve and I began on Vesicare, which did not help, and now I am on Detrol LA. This does not seem to be helping either. I am continuing to urinate 20-30 times a day. Sitting also makes it worse. Please help. I cannot continue to live like this.

I have had total bladdure failure and have taken Detrol and Ditropan with no good result. I am seeing the ururologist tomorrow and am worried that he will chalk this up to MS and tell me to live with it. Have any of you experienced this? Are there other remedies out there for this? I dont want to live with this, making me very upset. I appreciate it and thanks.
ve been having to urinate a lot during the night, at least 2-3 times. I talked to my primary care and he put me on some Detrol, which I tried for a few days and it did not help. Blood tests showed kidney function was fine..but what could be causing the frequent urination? I only take fish oil and multivitamins. Medical history that I have is cervical stenosis also have herniated discs in the back as well. I am a drinker but have been sober for the past month.
Okay, none of this sounds right. Toothpaste? That's a sensitive area for that. Especially when it is already agitated. The Detrol can burn you as you say. It's going to have to heal. Wash it daily and leave it alone. Don't put toothpaste on it. And consider going ahead and seeing your doctor. No, bathing is not bad for it.
hi
im 16 years old and for about the last 4 months i have had the constant urge to go to the toilet.
i have been to the doctors over 6 times with the problem now and still nothing has changed.
at first the doc said that i could have an infection, so after taking 3 different types of tablets
nothing had happened and the doc said it was not that. they sent me to a hospital and i had a ultrasound
test done on my lower stomach IE kidneys bladder etc.
Go get tested for a urinary tract infection. They affect everyone differently. Then ask your doctor about Detrol if it continues to happen. I hope you feel better.
I'm not sure, but have you (or has he) checked with his cardiologist? If so, what does he/she say? Hope the move goes well and you enjoy your new home!
The urogynecologist said there is no fistula, but rather her bladder has become over active because of the hysterectomy and the sling procedure. She also said that it is a temporary condition, but put her on Detrol. Her condition had not improved. In fact, it seems to be worse.
Has anyone else developed an over active bladder after a hysterectomy?
I now use Detrol LA and Buscopan to combat these spasms. It does not get rid of them but it does dull the intensity.
I worked for a urologist and we used a TENS unit type treatment called Uroplasty, that stimulates the tibial nerve with aids with bladder control. Detrol LA is also the highest recommended urinary incontinence treatment by physicians. Hope this helps a little.
I am taking Detrol to control the urinary urgency. I was getting up several times at night also and it really is an annoying problem.
Here is the medication typically prescribed for your condition:

I hope you can get some relief soon. Take care of yourself.
Hi, I guess I wasn't as bashful as Lu. I told my neuro and he said let my GP take care of it. When I saw my GP I said, "I got a problem. I was up at 5 to pee, again at 6, again at 8 and now it is 9:30 and I have to go again." I also told him that getting up and down all night left me exhausted and that when I didn't sleep everything else was worse. He did a urine test to see if I had a UTI. Ask me to wait one week and repeat it. I did. Both were negative.
Yes, both cystoscopes showed bladder lining clear and pink, no irritation, got the microlab back today and no cancer cells, so that was good, only thing abnormal was the WBC Esterase was abnormal and Urologist said back to stronger antibiotic, Doxcycycline, and Detrol La to relieve muscle spasm... does that sound like urologist is on the right track? Thank you for your reply.
