Overactive Bladder Transdermal Patch, 8 Count

Oxybutinin is a useful prescription for managing overactive bladder. However if you take the pill, it can affect cognitive decline. I'm already at risk for cognitive decline, and the transdermal patch lessens the drug's effect on cognitive acuity. It''s expensive but effective, and I think it's worth the expense. Best of luck!

These Oxytrol for Women Overactive Bladder patches take a few days to work. But they are helpful once they get through your system. It’s important to take them off after four days otherwise they can put rashes on your skin. This is the third time I bought these and now I can't find a place to put on my skin that doesn't make me itch. I don't put them on the same place as the last time. You might want to buy a small pack to make sure that they agree with your skin.

I have been using Oxytrol patches for years. They have always been a bit messy when the patch is removed because it leaves a sticky residue some worse than others and some cause an itch worse than others. Never have figured out why. This particular box was/is horrible. Still have one left and am weary of using it. Every single one (7) I used from this box caused a REALLY bad itch and burning sensation from the onset. The worse part was when they got wet in the shower. The burning increased and was VERY bad, so much so I removed each one. I tried to save them for future use to see if I reacted the same way but they usually got stuck to something else and ended up in the garbage. This is very sad. A needed usable product that wasnt great but served the purpose GONE BAD BAD BAD. BTW, the adhesive was reallt strong certainly different so that may be what I was reacting to. I do hope they return to a more gentle adhesive. Too much money to for patches that can only be used less than a day.

Because I generally do not like using anything with medication in it [I prefer herbal remedies], initially I was very hesitant to try this 'new kid on the block' solution for my OAB complaints. But, there is no denying the fact that this disease-state has truly limited my ability to enjoy my retirement years more fully. Due to the fact it was recently approved for OTC status, I decided to give it a trial run to see if it would enable me to more confidently leave home for my shopping errands, etc. Yes, it works pretty well. For me personally, I am most impressed with the 'Oxytrol Patch' medication route. Since it is applied transdermally [through the skin], none of my organ systems are affected [long-term damages/side effects]. Also my peace-of-mind and confidence, which has been restored since I first began using the 'Patch', is profound. I feel much more in control--without having to map out every restroom in my route--when I'm out and about on my shopping trips and errands. I sleep much more soundly at night now, thanks to the 'Patch'; only getting up once at night now, instead of 4-5 times per night. The 'Patch' has made a world of difference in my ability to get a good night's sleep. Overall, I would say that I'm very impressed with this OTC product, which has a proven track record of nearly 30 years of 'GRAS' use for this condition. Recently, I began a 'Subscribe & Save' subscription for this item here @Amazon. If I have use the 'Patch', I want to get the best possible price that I can for it, and Amazon has it. 'Nuff said. ****Addendum: For those of you who have been recently diagnosed with OAB symptoms, you may want to also become more informed as to what your many triggers are, i.e., food choices that do irritate the bladder system. I'm including the link which helps to explain things in more detail. So, here goes: [...] Unfortunately, this illness will have to become a new education for you on how to manage what you can eat and what foods will have to be eliminated. Although this link discusses patients struggling with interstitial cystitis or painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS), I did find the similarities to OAB are so close that I use this chart almost exclusively to determine what I must omit to be safe from any trouble. But, hey, this disease-state sure beats the pants off of having a life-threatening disease like say, um, 'cancer'. If you get a lemon, make lemonade! Blessings, J.J.

It works great, but the patches don't stay on. Yep they do burn and itch a minor amount. But my real problem is then just staying in place.

They work!!! I am a bigger person so I have been using 2 at a time, but these honestly work! I am in menopause so frequent urination is a overlooked symptom, I was up every hour using the restroom until I got these!! Now I get a total of 3 hours sleep at times!! I will not live without these!! I was skeptical thinking "these are not going to work" but they have changed my life!!!

This is an amazing product! I feel normal again. I have been having worsening problems, and bought this out of desperation. I did not think it would work, but decided to try it in case it did. The patch is very thin, and sounds like paper wrinkling when moved. I applied it not expecting much. The effect was obviously not instantaneous, but took a few days for the full effect. The medicine in the patch lasts four days, as listed on package. Showering with this on is NOT a problem. The patches remain adhered to the skin. Like Band-Aids, the edges of the patch catch fiber/lint and dye from clothing, so the edges of the patch have that on it. This does not cause the patch to lose adhesion. While showering, I washed this part adhesive using a nail brush, and the patch remained on. I am still amazed! I had been using AZO before purchasing and using this. It made a difference but I still had several problems throughout the day. Since using this, I am doing well. I still am careful about using the lavatory, but do not experience the spontaneous leakage. I am thrilled to encourage people to use this product!

Good product for urgency but delivery was delayed twice-bad for me not planning better. The last two batches I got, the patches do not stick to skin for full 4 days unless I put a giant bandage over it. It does burn for first 24 hours but I really can’t be without it because it is the only thing that has worked so I put up with it.
