Currently Taking Detrol For Overactive Bladder. Had IBS. How Long For Medication To Work?

Hi...I am currently taking Detrol for my overactive bladder . I have had overactive bladder for 3 years and have tried diffrent meds. I am taking 6 mg at night and 4 mg in morning. I still have to get up in night to use restroom 2 times. How long does it take for the detrol to start working effectively? Started taking it July 19, 2012. Also, is there a time when I will no longer need to take it? If so, what kind of time frame?...I had IBS in the past but now have resolved with occasional episodes instead of daily...thank you for your help...

Hello,

The clinical effects of Detrol start within 3-4 days of intake of the first dose.

The duration of therapy depends upon multiple factors as underlying pathology responsible for the cause response to the treatment associated comorbid conditions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
