Vibegron "I have been taking Gemtesa for about a month now, and going from almost total loss of control of my bladder to not having to use anything other than mini pads is wonderful! This is undoubtedly the best OAB medication I have ever used. I just asked my urologist for a lifetime prescription. No side effects at this time."

Vibegron "Works well, side effects are cold symptoms and a runny nose. It lasts 48 hours, so I reduced the frequency I take the pills. It is $700.00 with Medicare and Aetna PPO, so it is quite expensive. There is no generic."

Vibegron "First 2-3 hours after taking it, increases frequency and some bladder pressure. These effects dissipate gradually. I only recommend this drug if your insurance plan covers most or all of the costs. It’s an expensive medication."

Vibegron "Been taking this for about a month and it’s working really well. I haven’t had any side effects except for slightly dry eyes, which just encourages me to drink more water, which I should be doing anyway. I’ve had OAB for decades, even wet the bed until I was 13. I never wanted to talk to a doctor because it was too embarrassing. But it got so bad that I was afraid to leave the house because I never got ANY warning and would have to cross my legs and hop to the bathroom. So I finally asked my doctor for something and was prescribed Gemtesa. I have Medicare along with supplementary Medicaid, and I don’t know who paid for it, but I only have like an $8 co-pay, thank God. I take it at night with a slice of bread and I’ve never had nausea or tiredness. I used to wake up in the morning and I wouldn’t feel any urge to urinate until I stood up, and then it would be an immediate dash to the bathroom."

Vibegron "I have been taking it for 4 days and it has worked wonders for me. Not experiencing any side effects but having crazy dreams at night. Don’t know if the medication is causing it or just a coincidence! Costing me $47.00 per month after insurance. It is well worth it to me. Hopefully will continue to be successful."

Vibegron "Helps more than other medications I have been on. Was excited about Rex that would help. Made going out of the house better. Not having to search for a bathroom and anxiety about not finding a bathroom in time. BUT… I am on Medicare and no coverage for Gemtesa. Also going for pelvic floor therapy. I think every woman should do pelvic floor exercises."

Vibegron "I've been on this medication for a couple of weeks. It has been working for me. I didn't like oxybutynin. Presently, I'm extremely comfortable taking it daily. I am scheduled to meet with my urologist this week for a follow-up."

Vibegron "Usually reliable - lasts for approximately 7 hours - does NOT stop urinary leaking if alcohol has been consumed. Also I have experienced brain fog & short-term memory confusion & loss! Also caused severe dry eye. Still prefer to use this drug more than others in its class."

Vibegron "I was on samples for about 2 months. Worked great. Originally on oxybutynin. Barely worked. I had results with Gemtesa from day 1. I’m thirsty as all get down. I’m constipated. Loved the medicine. Costs not so much. I have private insurance and it’s over $1700 for a 90-day supply. Tried Gemtesa’s coupon. It really wasn’t helpful for me because my insurance wouldn’t pay for it at all. The other option to get the price down to $90.00 a month also didn’t work for me because of the out-of-pocket price. That program works by giving you about $400 a month for the meds. My pharmacy was nearly $600.00 per month so it still would’ve been nearly $200.00 a month. The company gave me a 3rd option. It appears they appealed to the insurance company for approval and it failed also. I wish it were more obtainable. Now we’re looking into other options like Botox, sacral Neuromodulation. Good luck to all of you in finding success."

Vibegron "I had been taking Flomax for several years. It continued to be effective but I started experiencing significant hypotension resulting in some falls. The doctor gave me a couple of trial boxes of Gemtesa. It took a few weeks, but with the Gemtesa my incontinence stopped, and I no longer suffered from sudden hypotension episodes. I have not had any adverse side effects."

Vibegron "I started taking Gemtesa after I mentioned to the PA that I was having urine leakage on occasion and that I hoped after my treatment for bladder cancer ended that this would stop. She provided me with a prescription for Gemtesa. I have been taking it for three weeks. I have less leakage and no longer wear a pad for protection. I have some comfort to know that eventually I will have control with help from Gemtesa 75mg. I will have to wait to see if this medication provides the help I need because of the short time I have been taking Gemtesa."

Vibegron "Gemtesa has been life-changing for me. It works so much better than Myrbetriq. No side effects and no urgency. My gynecologist sends it to a specialty mail-order pharmacy, and I get it for FREE! What a blessing this is. However, sometimes they are slow to send it through the mail, and I cannot function well without this medication. My bladder is not happy without it."

Vibegron "3 wks in and having fewer accidents. I had my first child 26 yrs ago and have had issues since when I laugh, cough, sneeze, move wrong, lift using lower abdominal muscles. I can say that the incidence has drastically decreased, at this time, I am not using as many pads or changing clothes often."

Vibegron "I've been taking Gemtesa for three years, with great success. I no longer need to know where a toilet is for stopping every 15 minutes while driving. At first, in 2021, my UroGyn needed to write a letter to my insurance company for them to cover Gemtesa. Thankfully, insurance now covers it."

Vibegron "Gemtesa has helped me considerably to ease my overactive bladder. I am now able to sleep better, only getting up 1 to 2 times a night where I was getting up 4-5 times before. The urgency to urinate has subsided also. Able to drive longer distances without having to stop. It considers this medication to be a life changer."

Vibegron "I have had urge incontinence for many years. Other medications left me with an extremely dry mouth. So happy to have a medication taken once a day that has helped without any side effects. I would say that it has relieved my problem about 80-90%, which is more than I hoped for."

Vibegron "Went on Gemtesa after my doctor took me off Oxybutynin due to the blood-brain barrier issue and it causing dementia and confusion. Tried solifenacin, which didn't work for me at all. Gemtesa was great, was on it for 3 weeks with samples from the doc. Worked perfectly, no side effects at all for me. Unfortunately, with insurance and a coupon from the website, the cost is $95 a month, so this drug is out for me, and we'll see if I have better luck on a 4th option."

Vibegron "Oxybutynin Chloride and similar gave me bad side effects and didn't really work anyway. Gemtesa has been a life-changer. First day I noticed an immediate positive result. Very happy with this as it means I can leave the house for longer periods of time. Don't really notice side effects. I perhaps 'sleep warmer' than before Gemtesa, but I sometimes 'slept too warm' at night anyway. Female, age 74."

Vibegron "I've had overactive bladder following a TURP procedure to correct an oversized prostate gland. My urologist gave me some physician's samples that lasted for about a month. The results were excellent! I had more control over urination that saved many embarrassing moments. I notified the doctor (Jason Reynolds in Elizabethtown, KY) for a prescription. Bad news! Gemtesa isn't covered under my insurance plan and the cost was $1600. Dr. Reynolds is trying to get a special release of this medication for my condition, but so far no luck. I've used all of the sample stock as of 11/2. My symptoms of incontinence have returned."

Vibegron "My doctor gave me samples of Gemtesa, and it worked great for my bladder without the horrible dry mouth of the other drug I was on (Oxybutynin). I took it at night before bed. After a week, I woke up with a ringing in my left ear, but it faded after about an hour. The next day, both ears were ringing when I woke up, but it would fade away after a few hours. After a couple of days, both ears were constantly ringing. I told my doctor, and he had me stop taking the drug to see if it cleared up. After a week or so, the ringing quit, but my bladder stayed calm for several weeks. With the remaining samples, I found that I could take one, and it would calm my bladder for a week or longer. I would have stayed on it, taking it as needed, but my insurance doesn't cover it."

Vibegron "Been taking this now about 2 weeks. So far, I like it, but I am having some of the lesser side effects, such as sinus, phlegm, and coughing issues. Dosage is 75 mg once a day, taken in the mornings. As far as the overactive bladder/incontinence, it's really seemed to help a lot, especially when driving!"

Vibegron "Excellent. Generally take it only when I expect to be out and about for a good part of the day, and it works wonderfully. It reduces the urge and helps you control your normal response if you have urge incontinence."

"My first week of taking this product was the best. I was able to sleep better because my trip to the bathroom to pee was only two, and I was rested the next day. As a result, my mood was better, and I was happier. There were also fewer bathroom trips during the day and no peeing accidents, not being able to hold my pee. After that, I still have fewer bathroom trips day and night but have peeing accidents once in a while, especially when I drink my usual 8 glasses of water. Overall, this product works for me, but it is too costly."

Vibegron "Worked immediately. Feel like I got my life back. No negative side effects that I recognize. Daily dosage 75 mg. Alongside, I do Kegel exercises twice a day as well as daily strengthening exercises for the pelvic floor. I have been using this medication for about six months. I hope to discuss with my physician reducing the dosage or discontinuing taking the medication without reoccurring overactive bladder problems."
