There's a shortage of oxybutynin in my area, my current medication, and I'm looking for a temporary substitute. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi Liberty, I personally use Oxybutynin and don't have any experience with Tolterodine but I have found a comparison that may give you some useful information, I think there is also another article that may be worth a read.

It isn't an enlightening read but it may give you a little insight that you did not have before Oxybutynin comparison with Tolterodine

The tradename is Vesicare.

My doctor suggests I try it and was curious if it works well for you.

It is slightly more expensive than the Oxybutynin. I only need to take it once per day and have not noticed any side effects so far.

Don’t know personally. Sounds good, if available and legal.

I was concerned as a number of research studies came out that said there was a link between bladder medication and dementia so i try to avoid taking too much!!

I'm currently trying the 50mg once a day for a month. It's only been 4 days but it's helping with the bladder spasms. If this doesn't work I'm considering botox. Anyone here have any experience with botox?

I tried it but it was completely ineffective for me.

Urologist put me on Mirabegron (Betmiga) is a beta3 adrenergic receptor agonist and it does not stop the bowels working.

Anticholinergics can cause Ileus with some. I.e. your bowels stop working. Way back in the 80s they sent me back to ICU with Ileus.

Have oral Macrogol 3350 overnight and Magnesium Sulphate during the day too keep it going.
