Suggest Medication For Urinary Incontinence

My Doctor prescribed Finasteride 5mg PO Tab to help me with urgency problems in getting to the bathroom, on time. This did not seem to help. so then..he prescribed Aricept 5mg PO Tab and that is not helping either! Should I try takiny them both together for a few days to see if anything improves?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Based on the given history you seem to be suffering from symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic enlargement. Oxybutynin along with Finasteride. Finasteride is commonly prescribed alone or in combination with another medication to treat symptoms associated with benign prostatic enlargement.

It may take a few weeks up to six months to get the relief from the symptoms. However, I would suggest Oxybutynin which can be taken along with Finasteride for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Aricept is used to treat memory related issues related to Alzheimer's disease. It is not approved for the treatment of benign prostatic enlargement.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
