You must first get a diagnosis before you can begin treatment is any kind. Incontinence is commonly caused by a bladder infection and treatments are easy to get and take. There are also medicines that are formulated to increase the person's ability to tighten the bladder sphincter.

To reduce the functioning of an overactive bladder, certain prescription drugs can be obtained from medical professionals which can block Acetylcholine; a chemical that is known for its capacity to aggravate abnormal bladder contractions. This kind of medication falls under the category of Anti-Cholinergic drugs.

Other drugs known to fall under this generic category are Ditropan, Sanctura, and Detrol. These are all proven effective medication usually taken orally, although there are some that can be bought in the forms of medicated skin patches and creams.

Side-effects to taking oral medication include a dry mouth and frequent feeling of thirst, while skin irritations is a common adverse reaction to application of skin patches and creams. Some people resort to taking anti-depressant drugs such as Imipramine which has been reported to help relax the bladder muscles. It is a prescribed medication for people with incontinence or bladder control problems. The side effect, however, often includes drowsiness.The more serious side effects to taking Imipramine should be discussed with the doctor and are often dizziness, blurred vision, and irregular heartbeat.

A common problem that individuals face is the leakage of pee and inability to retain it in the bladder for a long time. If you or someone you know has this issue, do not worry since you can get back bladder control with herbal medication.

There are other medicines that work by getting rid of the urge incontinence where the bladder contracts involuntarily and causes the loss of bladder control and the release of large amounts of urine. These medications include oxybutynin, calcium channel blockers and tricyclic antidepressants which all are used to calm the involuntary contractions.

Sometimes older children who are suffering from bedwetting can be prescribed tricyclic antidepressants. You should always watch your children closely for any side effects or changes in mood and eating habits. Another medication prescribed to reduce nighttime urine production is Desmopresin.

Desmopress; an anti-diuretic hormone, is often prescribed by physicians for people with little to no control of their bladders a sthis hormone is known for lessening the production of actual urine. This kind of medication is also considered a hormone replacement therapy, best used to combat urinary incontinence.

Other alternative sources of bladder control medication may be prescribed or recommended by physicians. It is imperative that self-diagnosis is avoided and proper treatment should involve the advice of a medical professional.
