Question/Comment:

Is Detrol La supposed to correct my problem of having to get up at night two or three times to urinate?

Answer/Reply from iGuard:

Detrol LA is FDA-approved for treatment of overactive bladder with the following symptoms:

1) having a strong need to urinate with leaking or wetting accidents (urge urinary incontinence)
2) having a strong need to urinate right away (urgency)
3) having to urinate often (frequency)

Hopefully it will help you with your night time symptoms of frequent urination.

Answer/Reply from iGuard:

Memory loss is not a commonly reported side effect of oxybutynin. However, if you think that oxybutynin is causing this side effect, it may be worth a chat with your doctor.
