When talking to your doctor, carefully review all the medications you're taking, including over-the-counter drugs or herbal remedies. Some medications make bladder control problems worse. Others can interact with incontinence medications in a way that increases symptoms.
Your doctor can help you decide if you need medicine to treat your bladder control problem and, if so, which one might be best for you.
