Anticholinergics for Urinary Incontinence in Men
How Well It Works
Many men taking these medicines have fewer symptoms of urge incontinence and overactive bladder. Some men stop having symptoms completely. These medicines can decrease the chance of leakage and the number of times you feel the need to urinate.Reference 1
Adding these medicines to behavioral therapies like bladder training can help symptoms of urge incontinence and overactive bladder more than behavioral treatment alone.Reference 2
