| Overall rating: | |   |
| Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
| Side effects: | | Mild Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | incontinence |
| Dosage & duration: | | 2x 5ml daily (dosage frequency: 2x daily) for the period of 1 month |
| Other conditions: | | urge incontinence, wetting at night |
| Other drugs taken: | | n/a | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | The medicine has stopped her wetting both day and night and worked within a week of her taking it. She is over the moon and so am I! |
| Side effects: | | My daughter complains of a pain in her bladder area and some constipation and her face looks a little flushed. I am considering lowering the dose to 2x 2.5ml per day |
| Comments: | | She has had 4 years of bladder infections and has had various scans and tests. I think that she has never been able to read the signals from her bladder properly due to all the infections. This medicine which was prescribed by the dr on a trial basis seems to be working well. We will try to wean her off it slowly after a little while |
