For Urinary Frequency "I frequently have profound pain and spasms in the recto-sigmoid rectum, as well as the bladder and urethra, all due to the inflammation throughout my entire digestive system. Worst in the esophagus and the sites noted above. My doctor prescribed this medicine since systemic narcotics caused too many side effects and too little relief of pain in the regions noted. The only side effects were, finally, an ability to sleep, the cessation of nearly unbearable pain, and ability to urinate. My problem, now, is the drug having been removed from the formulary for Medicare Part D drugs, and the apparent lack of availability of the medication, even if I could pay for it myself."

For Urinary Frequency "After many complications after a radical prostatectomy due to cancer, I have a suprapubic catheter. My bladder apparently doesn't like having a balloon in it all the time and I get extremely painful bladder spasms. It feels like I'm trying to birth a spiked covered baseball! The B&O is the only thing that will even put a dent in the pain. They usually work quickly and effectively. Most insurance won't cover the cost and they are frequently difficult to find at a pharmacy. I just bought a pack of 12 for $600. Yep, $50 a piece. My urologist would write an rx for whatever pain relief I asked for but nothing else works."

For Urinary Frequency "I have been operated on for bladder cancer. My doctor tried many pain medications to alleviate the pain from bladder spasms as a result of the removal of the cancer from my bladder. B&O 16 is the only medicine that gave me relief from the spasms. Thank goodness it was available. I use it only as needed for the spasms, and it is not long-term, however, it has taken care of the problem and let me recover without the pain."
