Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I tried the samples that my Dr. gave me and it worked wonders. Then I go to get it from Express Scripts and they refused to fill it because it is not covered by my insurance. It is $500 a month, which I cannot afford to do. I already tried Botox, and that did absolutely nothing for me. Three times of that......no more. I'm just glad that I'm not the only one in this situation."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "Just went to the urologist after waiting 6 months. The diagnosis was Overactive Bladder and I was given a sample of Gemtesa 75mg to try. I took the first pill to get that bladder to come down. Within 30 minutes my face lit up as if I had been overexposed to the sun, it was burning and I had red cheeks that spread to the entire face, neck upper back, and chest. I started having nausea, stomach cramps, lightheadedness, headache, and feeling lethargic. I called the doctor and left a message. I guess we won't try this again!"

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "Gemtesa worked for the OAB, but I had a couple of side effects. 1) I would wake up in the middle of the night, so thirsty. Not just a dry mouth, but thirsty. 2) The drug has caused me to be constipated. I've been dealing with this for over a week, and no matter how I change my diet, the constipation is still there. So I'm gonna discontinue the drug today."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I started taking Gemtesa 5 days ago. I have been experiencing blotting in the bladder area and severe urine retention. Attempting to urinate every 8/10 minutes. Will discontinue this medication immediately and not take this again."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I thought it was working for a couple of weeks but now problem is back. I was flooding especially first thing in the morning. For a couple of weeks it was much better but not now. Oh well I can't afford it either."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I tried pelvic floor physical therapy to help my overactive bladder. Then I tried Gemtesa for two weeks, and suddenly, my life changed. No more need for protective pads/garments. My self-esteem has soared! I no longer let my bladder control me. It really has been life-changing. No side effects whatsoever. The copay is pretty high for a senior woman on a fixed income, but I'll find a way to pay it."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "My doctor prescribed Gemtesa after having tried other meds that didn't help with my overactive bladder. Within a week I noticed a major difference. It is doing so much more to alleviate my symptoms than anything previously. I can sleep through the night without 1-2 trips to the bathroom. The urgency is vastly reduced as well as the number of trips to the bathroom throughout the day. One thing I have noticed is that its increased my IBS-C issues. There has been increased gas and bloating as well as worse constipation."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I started taking Gemtesa a month ago. It works a lot like oxybutynin. It works for me. The side effects for me have been hot flashes. I’m not sure I will fill my prescription again. It was very expensive. I wondered if there are any coupons for Gemtesa."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "A friend recommended Gemtesa since it has worked effectively for her. I find it does help somewhat but question its value, now hovering over $1500 for 90 days. Even though Medicare does cover a portion I also take another expensive drug so I'm already in the donut hole, early June. I may try using one every other day, otherwise I'll have to drop it."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "Very positive. Been wearing a heavy incontinence pad 24/7 for at least 2 years which didn’t always do the trick. The first day I took this pill I was not incontinent once during the day or night. Skipped it a couple of days to see if it was a fluke. It wasn’t. I’m taking it again. Slight nausea right after taking it in the morning but maybe I should eat when I take it. I am very pleased. At 73 years old I take quite a few meds and was/am hesitant to take another one. Not anymore. Fortunately, my copay covers it as a 30-day supply of well over $600."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "Started Gemtesa a month ago. Was shocked at the price, but insurance covers most. Paying $50 for a month's supply. Most expensive med I have ever paid for. Worth it though. In the beginning, I had some cramping pain and gas, but when I figured out to quit taking magnesium and take the Gemtesa with food, things settled down. I have only one early wake-up call in the morning. The first time in years I have been able to sleep 6 hours straight. I had been on another OAB for years that stopped working, so I was pleased to find Gemtesa."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I've dealt with an overactive bladder for my entire life and it's been HORRIBLE. Finding a bathroom was always a concern for me no matter where I was, and when 'sleeping' I'd have to get up 3-6 times a night to urinate. I tried every drug available going back to the 1980s to no avail and just gave up about 13 years ago because nothing helped. However, I recently had to see a urologist for an unrelated issue, and I asked if there were any new medications in the last 10 years or so to treat an overactive bladder. My doctor gave me samples of Gemtesa, and it is an answer to my prayers! IT WORKS!!! For the first time in my life, I can sleep through most of the night and usually only have to get up at most 2 times, but only once is more common and sometimes not at all until 6:00 or 7:00 AM. This medication has changed my life. Like all medicines, it comes with side effects which should NEVER be taken lightly. However, not sleeping is very damaging to one's health so I'll accept side effects."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I started this 3 weeks ago. I noticed an improvement almost right away. But, I have come off 2 of my migraine meds, because I found an injection a month that works. Again I’ve been on this Gemtesa 75 for 3 weeks, this past week I’ve had more migraines/headaches than the last 6 months, I guess I will need to come off. I’ve had 2 mesh surgeries. Maybe Botox. Suggestions…"

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I started taking a 75 mg tablet of Gemtesa earlier this month and stopped taking it after 3 days. I had high blood pressure while taking it. Not sure if this medication can cause blood pressure to increase."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "Only been trying for 3 weeks or so and find it somewhat better than what I have been taking. It is not perfect as I have had to run to the bathroom a few times with or without leakage. I don't get those terrible bladder feelings, no side effects. Love the fact I don't have to take on an empty stomach and when I do urinate I find I have the ability to have had my bladder hold a lot more."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I have taken Gemtesa for about six months and was very pleased with the results until about four months of using it. I began to have leakage again more frequently. I recently had surgery and did not use it while I was hospitalized for about two weeks. When I started taking Gemtesa again, it is working like a charm! Wondering if taking a break now and then might be a good idea."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "My Urologist gave me a month's worth of samples to try. I took it for the month and saw a significant improvement in my OAB symptoms with no side effects. However, insurance would not cover it and my out-of-pocket expense would be over 300 dollars for a 3-month supply. The Urologist switched me to Myrbetriq, but the results are not as effective as Gemtesa. This drug needs to be added to Medicare-approved medication."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I took my first Gemtesa pill last night. I started getting horrible bladder pain, urinating every 15 min, and was up all night. It definitely was not a UTI. I have had UTIs all my life, approximately 6 times a year, and have never had this type of bladder pain. A UTI has a severe burning pain. No burning pain with this. I took the one 75mg pill at 8pm last night and now at 12 noon the next day the pain is less but still feels awful. Hope the manufacturer of Gemtesa reads this. I don’t advise taking this medication."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I would put this drug close to the miracle mark. I got immediate relief (day 1) and have had continued success for many months now. I have 'overactive bladder'. I take one pill per day. Occasionally I have to get up several times but most nights I can sleep 4 to 5 hours or more before having to relieve myself. I had tried virtually all of the 'treatments', including Mybetriq, which was pretty much a complete failure as were the other drugs. It is VERY expensive. Insurance covers part of the price but not all. I wish it were covered completely."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I consider it a miracle drug. Right away I had less and less urge to urinate. After about two to three weeks, I could go several hours and at night, only have to get up two to three times a night with no accidents. Unfortunately, it is too expensive for me to continue using it for the long term. I was denied by the manufacturer for help with the expense. But I love it. I think I might even be able to go without Depends. I have had zero side effects and take one pill every morning."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "This works great for my bladder and is better than any other of the medications I have tried. I have noticed more vivid dreams and constipation after I started taking it, so I took myself off for two weeks and restarted. I know these are not listed as side effects, but after my restart, the symptoms returned. I just need to decide if it is worth it or if I should return to a medication that doesn't work as well."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I have suffered with OAB for at least 15 years. Gemtesa has been a God-send. I have been taking this medication for 2 full weeks. I honestly could tell a difference within 24 hours of the first pill Urgency and leaking is gone I have gone from Depends diapers to a pad (for safety). Fingers crossed, this continues. I can truly attest that Gemtesa has worked since day one and I am so thankful that my Urologist had me try this medication. He gave me samples for three months until my return visit."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "This drug is a game changer. Previously, I was awakening 2-4 times nightly to empty my bladder; since taking Gemtesa, it's down to zero or once nightly. The only side effect I experienced was dry mouth. I mentioned it to my doctor and she had me try half-dosage using a pill cutter. EUREKA, it resolved the dry mouth issue and the drug is still totally functional for its intended purpose! I still only have to get up 0-1 per night."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I was given samples. I have terrible side effects from oxybutynin. Merbetriq works great but insurance doesn't want to pay. Gemtesa is barely effective and causes horrible fatigue. I can barely sit up 3-4 hours after taking it. No point in taking it at night because of the fatigue it causes. The effectiveness wears off after 6-8 hours. Would cost me over $1000/month. Glad I got samples to learn that it doesn't work well for me."

Gemtesa (vibegron) for Overactive Bladder "I have been taking Gemtesa for 3 months and the medication has showed no noticeable improvement. Considering the expensive price of the med it is surely not in my future. New medication should be effective and affordable!"
