Has anyone taken the pill Toviaz for their bladder? My brothers bladder is overactive now and he needs to take these pills so he doesn’t have to go so often. The doctor said his bladder shrunk from all the treatments he had. Has anyone else had this problem?He can get up in the morning and not have a drink but has to stop 3 times to pee on the way to work.
My granddaughter takes Toviaz for an over-active bladder. She did not have bladder cancer but has a small inflamed bladder due to IC. The medication has helped somewhat but she still has to urinate more frequent than the average person due to IC which is an inflamed bladder which has no cure or treatments other than a change of diet. Caffeine is enemy number 1.
There are some possible side effects which is listed below in the link. http://www.rxlist.com/toviaz-side-effects-drug-center.htm
Good luck to your brother.
