Q: will ditropan xl tablet get rid of water swelling in my legs?
my feet are swollen becouse of water retantion will ditropan xl tablet help get rid of water in my legs ???
A: Highly unlikely that it will get rid of the water in your legs/feet.
Ditropan XL Extended-Release Tablets are used for relieving symptoms of bladder problems (urinary urgency, frequency, or leakage; loss of bladder control; and painful urination) in certain patients. It may also be used in children with overactive bladder muscle (detrusor) caused by certain conditions (eg, spina bifida).
Ditropan XL Extended-Release Tablets is an anticholinergic. It works by relaxing muscles in the bladder.
I would suggest that you see your doctor for a check up, as there may be underlying medical problems which are causing the water retention in your legs. It's more likely that you will need a diuretic to get rid of the water.
Q: what kind of side effects would i have if i stopped taking ditropan XL cold turkey?
A: none, except your bladder may become overactive again.
Q: Any home remedies/natural ways to prevent UTI?
I suffer from chronic UTI's almost monthly, and will all the meds im on to prevent them (ditropan XL, detrol LA, and Bactrim) along with drinking plenty of water, not drinking soda or teas and taking cranberry supplements. What are some other natural or home remedies to try to help me out? Also has anyone ever tried clear tract or tried d-mannose? Thanks!
A: I have heard good reports about d-mannose. I know one medical doctor who has juvenile diabetes & it helps w/ protein in urine for him & has (he believes) extended his life.
Here are some herbs known to be urinary antiseptics: Angelica root, Bearberry (Uva Ursi), Celery seed, Goldenrod, Juniper, Meadowsweet (also soothing & pain relieving), Saw Palmetto, Yarrow. Try making any one of these into a tea and drinking one or more cups per day. I would lean toward Angelica root, which is a digestive, or Meadowsweet, which contains salycin (like aspirin). Saw Palmetto, Juniper & Bearberry are all somewhat harsh and only for short term use.
Years ago when I was taking birth control pills I also had frequent UTIs. Got some relief by a surgeon enlarging the opening of my bladder. The problem didn't completely stop until I stopped taking the pill.
Q: Does anyone know anything about an over active bladder problem?
For several months now I've been having this problem where when I pee, 10 seconds later, I have to pee again but when i try nothing comes out. Its very uncomfortable and I've missed some school because of it. I had an ultra sound done and a catheter test and they said nothing appeared to be wrong so they put me on Ditropan XL and it doesn't help at all. Does anyone know whats wrong or what can help?
A: the only "solution" is to limit coffee, tea, and soda. they are diuretics. don,t skip water. this would lead to an UTI.
