For Urinary Frequency "I've been struggling for months. I pee. I still need to pee, badly. Go again. Same feeling. No burning, but cramps like a period and sex is terribly painful. Haven't been to the doctor yet but I think I know what's going on, as a nurse, I've seen this. Struggled for months. I put the patch on yesterday, not even 24 hrs and I feel 80% better. I still feel it, but not near how I did. And if it gets better from here that would be amazing! I recommend this patch highly, maybe I should have waited a few days to post this, but the fact that I feel this good already needed to be shared. Worth every penny, and if you think about it, it is not that expensive. I usually get skin irritation from patches, and it's a little itchy already but weighing out the pros and cons, who cares about itchy skin! Now if it blisters I'll be SOL. but for now I have hope. I thought I had none."

For Urinary Frequency "I have been using the patches for about eight months I still feel like my bladder is full even after going to toilet I wake thru the night about twice a night but funny thing I can get thru 6 hours of voluntary work before needing to go bathroom as soon as I get home which at times I am ready to burst I feel the patch is working fifty percent of time for me. I am having trouble trying to get four days out of a patch as they get very brittle and bubble up. I try not to let them get wet in shower but clothing lifts it too. I guess they need to work on the kind of plaster to use that stays put on the skin. Also I do get black marks from adhesive and lint from cloth but I use eucalyptus oil and tissue to remove and then shower wipe area dry and reapply bandage I give the product a fifty percent out of a hundred percent but wish the constant urge and fullness would ease and also dry mouth and sinus problem seems to be more frequent but guess better than nothing "

For Urinary Frequency "Started having an overactive bladder after having a UTI treated with the wrong antibiotic. I was given two different samples of meds by a urologist and had negative reactions to both. I took a gamble with Oxytrol and omg it started working within a few hours. I left the first patch on for 4 days and only used 1/2 and changed it today using the leftover other half. I am so impressed. What a relief not to have that constant feeling. I am thrilled."

For Urinary Incontinence "76 yo male with decades of urge incontinence have used diapers and oxytrol now for 6 months. I now have regained a great deal more confidence to go out. I use acetone to clean when I take off the patch every 3 or 4 days, then have my daily shower."
Are you taking this medicine?

For Urinary Frequency "I am very upset and disappointed in this product. It says the patch last for 4 days, (well it might if it stayed on) no matter where I put it as soon as I took a shower it became a hard plastic and fell off. So every day I had to put a new patch on, so instead of 4 patches lasting me 16 days I only got 4 patches for 4 days. I don't know about any other women there but I take a shower everyday, I am not going 4 days without a shower! Not happy at all! :("

For Urinary Frequency "It helps but unfortunately all Walmarts in Reno Nv are constantly out of stock. I went to a pharmacy thinking surly they must stock the product but I had no luck. The pharmacist had no I deal what this product was. I felt like the pharmacist thought I was asking for OxyContin. I wish they would change the name and stock the store better with this product. What a shame now I will have to depend on a physician for a perscription. This product only helps for the first two days not for four days as advertised."

For Urinary Frequency "In less than 48 hours I developed extreme itching, redness and blistering under the patch. I removed the patch and there were large water blisters underneath. So, obviously I discontinued using the patches. Out of 32.00 bucks."

For Urinary Frequency "I am very happy with Oxytrol. Was on Oxybutynin for years and it just stopped working. Major issue for me was the fear if I didnt take a "pill" I would have to spend the day in the bathroom. Eventually I gave it a try and very happy I did. No side effects at all. Frequency and urgency is much better. Been on it for 3 weeks now and hoping it will also start to improve the bladder pain I live with every day. I also have interstitial cystitis , and Mass Cell Activation Disorder, so its a bit of a battle but this medication patch definitely helps. I change the patch every 3 days."

For Urinary Frequency "Has made very little difference during the day. I can only hold about 100ml before the urgency starts, giving me about 30 seconds before I loose control. It has been better overnight lasting up to 5 hours."

For Urinary Frequency "Absolute life changer, after taking sleeping medications for 3 weeks solid, I had a new unexpected urinary urgency impacting my ability to go out at all. 12-15 times a day and a horrible depression associated. After urologist consultation and within 1 hour of application of patch immediate relief from all symptoms. No side effects or problems with adhesive patch. Was able to stretch out to 5 days and off after 5 months."

For Urinary Frequency "I was worried the patch would be intrusive, but once I put it on, the only thing I noticed was my reduced need to go to the bathroom. I didn't experience any other side effects."

For Urinary Frequency "Oxytrol seems to be the best medication for me. I have only tried one other for the overactive bladder. However, this was the best medication due to the side effects, which were basically unnoticed."

For Urinary Frequency "So I have multiple sclerosis/frequent and urgent bladder issues. I used these patches for several years with very good results. Worked best for 3 days, wearing for 4 days not as good on last day. Adhesive stays on after removing patch and built up over a period of time causing skin irritation and redness. Worked best on abdomen, not as well on buttocks. Did not stick well or stay on hip. I think the reason it didn't stay as well on hip & bottom was because of heat in those areas. Overall very satisfied with product."
