I have a senior (age 85) using Detrol for incontinence. He is showing
signs of dementia - very confused and forgetful. Is this possibly caused
by using Detrol?
Can using Detrol lead to dementia?

Hello,
I am sorry to read this about your father.
Yes , this med can cause confusion and hallucinations, they are serious side effects which must be reported ASAP and he should stop taking the med immediately . Contact his doctor NOW-
Less serious: dizziness and drowsiness
Best of luck, and I hope you father gets well.-
Thank you.-
