About DETROL LA

DETROL LA is an overactive bladder (OAB) medicine. OAB can occur when your bladder muscle squeezes too often. Or when you don’t want it to. There is no cure for OAB. But you may be able to help control your symptoms with DETROL LA.

It’s the brand doctors prescribe most for OAB.^† DETROL LA Kamagra Chewable helps calm the bladder muscle that causes frequent, sudden urges to urinate. Just imagine what that can do for you!

• Is easy to take—just one pill, once a day, the same time of day, with or without food, reduces OAB symptoms for 24 hours

Give DETROL LA time to work

When it comes to seeing results, everyone is different. Some people’s symptoms begin to improve as soon as the first week that they take DETROL LA. Most patients continue to improve as they take DETROL LA for several months. So, if you just started taking DETROL LA, be sure to give it a full chance to work. Also make sure to keep taking DETROL LA for as long as your doctor prescribes. If you stop taking DETROL LA, your symptoms may return.

Added help for OAB symptoms

Aside from taking your medicine, there are other things you can do to help manage OAB symptoms:

• Do exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. (These are the muscles that help you hold urine in)
• Make diet and lifestyle changes.
