There are medical options for your OAB
If lifestyle changes alone aren’t helping control your OAB, your doctor may prescribe you medication. There are two types of medication available - anticholinergics and beta-3 adrenoceptor agonists.
Some medications reduce the number of involuntary bladder contractions which results in more bladder capacity and less frequency, urgency and involuntary loss of urine. Other options can help relax a muscle in the bladder wall to reduce the symptoms of OAB.
Some patients may respond better to one medication than another and the side effects may differ among patients. It’s important to find the medication that works best for you. Your doctor may prescribe a few different medications before you find the one that is suitable for you in the long term. If you experience any side effects from your OAB medication, let your doctor know right away. They may be able to prescribe another medication.
