    DrGran

    On the contrary, I have absolutely NO side effects to report. I have had bladder incontinence for over half of my life. (35 years). I was forced to give up teaching because of the control issues. I have used Oxytrol patches since they were Rx required and thought I’d made major breakthrough when they went OTC. NO MORE dry mouth and similar symptoms. Please tell me it won’t be long before they are available once again.
