The holidays can be stressful enough, but imagine what it's like trying to get your shopping done when you are tied to a bathroom.   For more than 33 million Americans this is their reality, because they suffer from overactive bladder.  Vastly unreported, many sufferers compromise their lives to cope with the condition.  Doctor Roger Dmochowski, Professor of Urology, Vanderbilt University explains:

"Overactive bladder is characterized by the strong uncontrollable urge to urinate, associated with wetting accidents and frequent trips to the bathroom.  Unfortunately, its sufferers are often too embarrassed to speak to their doctor, and end up suffering in silence.  There really is just no need for this because the condition can be properly managed."

Recently, the F-D-A approved Oxytrol�, a transdermal therapy to treat overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency.  This clear, flexible patch offers O-A-B patients proven efficacy and a low incidence of drying side effects, such as dry mouth and constipation.  To learn more, talk to your health care professional or log on w-w-w-dot-oxytrol-dot-com.

SUGGESTED ANCHOR TAG: Oxytrol� is not for everyone.  People with or at risk for developing urinary retention, gastric retention, uncontrolled narrow angle glaucoma or hypersensitivity to the drug substance or other components of the product should not use Oxytrol�.  The most common adverse events occurring with Oxytrol� were application site reactions, dry mouth, constipation, diarrhea, dysuria and abnormal vision.
