Has anyone taken toviaz 4 mg every other day to reduce constipation and found it still provides relief? ## has anyone taken toviaz 4 mg daily and then reduced it to every other day to help with the side effect of constipation and found they still get relief for over active bladder? ## Hello, Festus! How are you? Have you tried it, yet? It may be worth trying, if your doctor approves. However, have you tried anything else to alleviate the constipation, such as fiber supplements? The FDA lists the other typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness and blurred vision. ## I have been taking Toviaz since October and I had pro vaginal sling surgery in December. How long do I need to continue to take this medication?

I started taking Myrbetriq 4 months ago. About 2 months ago I became very dizzy and was diagnosed with Vertigo. I am now in therapy for it, but nothing is really helping it. I am concerned it is a side effect. Otherwise this med is fabulous. Has anyone else suffered from this or did this just happen to me? ## Yes, that can be a side effect of this medication, though for it to be that severe and cause vertigo isn't very common. But most medications that are used to treat overactive bladder can cause dizziness and vertigo. It would also explain why therapy isn't helping the situation. I had that happen with a medication myself last year and it was quite miserable for awhile, until I finally connected it to the medication I had been taking and stopped. Have you tried exercises and ...

Where can I find Dewitt pills for kidney & bladder in Hong Kong? ## Where can I buy Dewitt urinal pills? I cannot seem to find them. ## These pills are no longer being manufactured, so they are not available in any country. DeWitt stopped making them years ago, since they were not approved by the FDA, or other medical agencies. The best suggestion I an make is that you both consult your respective doctors to get a proper diagnosis as to what is causing your problem, and the best way to treat it. Are either of you prone to urinary tract infections? If so, you may require an antibiotic, such as Nitrofurantoin, which is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

I have spasms down my left-hand side, I'm not sleeping and also have deep vein thrombosis within my legs and back pain due to kidney stones. I'm in major agony and need help. Please advise. ## What medications has your doctor instructed you to take? Has a scan been done to check the size of the kidney stones? Not all of them will pass on their own, sometimes medical intervention is required, according to NIH studies. I once had to pass a large one, and while it did pass on its own, the experience was horrible. Do you take anything for your DVT?

I would like to stop taking Detrol LA. Do I need to stop at once or go off of it slowly. My eyes have been getting worse since being on the drug. ## It really depends on how long you have been taking it regularly, if it has been several months to a year or more, then you will probably need to slowly taper off of it. You should speak with your doctor about the problems you are having with it and they can probably help you with the best way to stop taking it. Anytime you are taking a med for a long period of time, your body gets used to having it, this is called Dependence and if you try to stop suddenly, you will suffer some mild withdrawal symptoms. ## I loved that Detrol let me sleep through the night Besides dry eye and throat I’m dizzy and exhausted a lot and I get out of breat...

I have oab for about 3-4 years now and I have been take toviaz for that time. During my vacation I need to urinate a lot, but I never consumed that much liquid. When I got back towards the afternoon I'd have my symptoms of oab come back. Now I take toviaz and only feel the side affects and I have the urge to urinate all the time. Is this still oab? Or something else, or is it just time for a new oab drug? ## Hello, Marshel! How are you doing? Has there been any change? It is really hard to say, how much liquid did you consume? What side effects are you experiencing? The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and blurry vision. Are you on any other medications? ## No other side effects. Now when I take the medication the side effects are...

I went uro doc for a follow up because I have frequent utis and urgency to urinate and actually I felt ok. She started me on myrbetriq and guess what, my urgency started again. Also, I have read it can cause utis and one of my main complaints is chronic utis. The side effects of this medicine can cause you have the problems this medicine is suppose to remedy. Explain that. ## Hi Kathy, There are lots of prescription drugs that cause the same problems as the ones they are supposed to treat. It's pretty ridiculous! Have you ever tried any natural/homeopathic remedies? I've heard that coconut milk, coconut water, and cranberry juice can be really effective. I deal with a condition called interstitial cystitis which causes an urgency to urinate and all sorts of wonderful related iss...

I was prescribed medication for pain and the prescription didnt seem to have the name my doctor told me previously so i looked it up on the internet and couldnt find a pain reliever that matched the markings on the pill: which were 4853 above the hetch mark and a cursive V below the hetch mark ## Hi Lorelle, The round blue pill in description marked V 4853 is Oxybutynin chloride (5 mg). This isn't a pain pill however... Oxybutynin is an anticholinergic medication used to relieve urinary and bladder difficulties, including frequent urination and inability to control urination (urge incontinence), by decreasing muscle spasms of the bladder. Learn More: Oxybutynin Details I hope this helps! ## That is perfectly correct. The pill in question is AMERICAN in origin, made by Qualitest Phar...

I am an 80 year old female in good health with no medications until a recent bout with Urinary Tract Infection. I tolerated the pills for a few days week but the symptoms got so severe I stopped taking them. I took 15 out of 20. I was constipated for the first four days and had stomach discomfort with lots of gas and bloating. The last couple of days my legs hurt bad from my groin to my knees and the bloating and gas got worse even after regular bowel movements. I felt so bad I stayed in bed most of the day. I felt normal after getting off this medication. Will never take this one again. Now I wonder what ingredients could cause the most severe leg pain. ## This is a generic for the antibiotic Bactrim, smz stands for Sulfamethoxazole, and TMP stands for Trimethoprim. It is used to treat...

I had calcium kidney stones. My doctor prescribed Chorthalid tab 25mg. to prevent me from forming more stones. I have seen no reference to taking it for this purpose. I also have low BP. Is it advisable for me to take it? ## Hello, Helen! How are you? I'm sorry about the kidney stones, they are very painful. And yes, according to the NIH, Chlorthalidone is used to help prevent calcium stones. As listed by the FDA, its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration/ How low is your normal blood pressure? ## I know this is an older post but was wondering if this is why my urologist has me only taking half a tablet at a time. I hate kidney stones.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, diarrhea, and headache.

My pharmacy changed from dispensing me blue oxybutinin that has worked well for me for years, to white oxybutinin. The blue ones dissolved immediately in my Foley irrigation solution but not the white ones. I'm having a lot of leakage now from bladder spasms and it's only since I have been taking the white pills. Anyone out there had this experience? ## What are the markings on the tablets you've received that aren't working for you? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, urinary retention and blurred vision. ## This is crazy while the blue does NOTHING for my issues & I have been trying to get the white ones 15mg, round white pills with M on them I cant get anything unless I want to pay cash for them when I have goo...

My 12 year old daughter has been taking oxybutynin (10mg one time per day) and Nitrofurantoin (50mg one time per day) for over a year now. All of this is trying to help her bladder relax so she can fully void - we are hoping this will solve the problem she was having for two years causing recurrent UTIs. We are at a point where we want her to stop taking the medications - we need to see how she does off all of the meds. But how do I safely/effectively wean her off of these meds? We are no longer under the care of a doctor because we couldn't afford the $400 office visit that we were going to be charged just to be told how to get her off the medications. So now I need to know....do I just have her stop taking both meds at once or do I first try to eliminate one from her system, follo...
