Examples

How It Works

These medicines calm the nerves that control bladder muscles. They may prevent uncontrollable bladder contractions that force urine out of the bladder.

Why It Is Used

Antispasmodics and anticholinergics are used to control the symptoms of urge incontinence. These medicines may also be used to treat stress incontinence, especially if you have both stress and urge incontinence.

How Well It Works

Many people taking these medicines have fewer problems with urinary incontinence.

Side Effects

Side effects vary with some of these medicines and include:

  • Dry mouth.
  • Headache.
  • Decreased sweating, skin rash.
  • Nausea, constipation.
  • Eye problems.
  • Rapid heartbeat.
  • Skin rash.
  • Drowsiness, confusion.
  • Nervousness.
  • Urinary retention.

What To Think About

Some of these medicines may cause you to sweat less. In hot weather, this could lead to heat exhaustion. Ask your health professional whether you should be careful about being physically active in hot conditions.
