For Urinary Incontinence "I truly believe it works at stopping leakage. I thought I had found a miracle cure, but I seem to be allergic and can't take the burning, redness, and rash. I have gone through a couple of boxes because it works so well, but six days after only a 24-hour use, I still have a terrible itchy red rash. I will still consider using it for special occasions. And I must agree, it is expensive."

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 and bottom was because of heat in those areas. Overall, very satisfied with the product."

For Urinary Frequency "48 hours after I began the Oxytrol patch, I have a large bright red mark on my abdomen. It looks like blisters or a burn. I removed the patch. I also am now experiencing abdominal spasms, an intense fluttering in my lower abdomen. I did not see this anywhere listed as a side effect. I'm very disappointed, I had high hopes for this product."

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 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 didn't take a 'pill,' I would have to spend the day in the bathroom. Eventually, I gave it a try, and I am very happy I did. No side effects at all. Frequency and urgency are 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 Mast Cell Activation Disorder, so it's a bit of a battle, but this medication patch definitely helps. I change the patch every 3 days."

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 the patch, immediate relief from all symptoms. No side effects or problems with the adhesive patch. Was able to stretch out to 5 days and off after 5 months."

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 the toilet. I wake through the night about twice a night, but the funny thing is I can get through six hours of voluntary work before needing to go to the bathroom as soon as I get home, which at times I am ready to burst. I feel the patch is working fifty percent of the 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 the 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 the adhesive and lint from cloth, but I use eucalyptus oil and tissue to remove it, and then shower, wipe the area dry, and reapply the bandage. I give the product a fifty percent out of a hundred percent but wish the constant urge and fullness would ease. Also, dry mouth and sinus problems seem to be more frequent, but I guess it's better than nothing."

For Urinary Frequency "I am very upset and disappointed in this product. It says the patch lasts 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 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 every day, I am not going 4 days without a shower! Not happy at all! :("

For Urinary Incontinence "76 yo male with decades of urge incontinence has 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."

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

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."

For Urinary Frequency "It helps, but unfortunately, all Walmarts in Reno, NV, are constantly out of stock. I went to a pharmacy thinking surely they must stock the product, but I had no luck. The pharmacist had no idea 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 prescription. This product only helps for the first two days, not for four days as advertised."
