Urinary incontinence: Know your drug options

Article Abstract:

Studies reveal that the loss of bladder control, known as urinary incontinence, is a common, embarrassing and frustrating problem for millions of people. Numerous drugs are available to treat different forms of urinary incontinence, which include anticholinergics, estrogen, alpha-adrenergic blockers, imipramine, desmopressin, and duloxetine, and these drugs are prescribed with caution to older adults due to the greater potential for side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness and constipation.
