Your Medicines and Bladder Control: NIDDK (Excerpt)

If your medicine is causing your bladder problem, your doctor may find another medicine. If you need to keep taking the same medicine, your doctor can help you find another way to gain bladder control. (Source: excerpt from Your Medicines and Bladder Control: NIDDK)

Your Medicines and Bladder Control: NIDDK (Excerpt)

Leaking can happen when medicines affect any of these muscles or nerves. For instance, medicines to treat high blood pressure may make the sphincter muscles too tight or too loose. Medicines to treat colds can have the same effect.

You may take medicine to calm your nerves so that you can sleep or relax. This medicine may dull the nerves in the bladder and keep them from signaling the brain when the bladder is full. Without the message and urge, the bladder overflows. (Source: excerpt from Your Medicines and Bladder Control: NIDDK)
