For Overactive Bladder "Side effects manifested very quickly (3 days) after a 75 mg pill. They were all over the body: itching, losing hair, headache. I mentioned those to my urologist who replied there were no such effects! I quit after one week and all went away. So YES. These are positively real side effects."

For Overactive Bladder "I had begun with an urge to urinate even after urinating. I went to a urologist who said I have BPH and prescribed tamsulosin and Detrol. Both did little to improve my condition, and one of them caused a rash and itching. I went to the Mayo Clinic in MN, was taken off the two medications, and was prescribed Gemtesa. Not a miracle drug, but an 8 or 9 on a 10 scale. Only issue it is still depressing sexual performance. I've ordered Viagra, we will see."

For Overactive Bladder "06/05/2023 - Gemtesa 75 mg 1 tab a day. On the 8th day, 06/12/2023, I had nonstop diarrhea, nausea, headache, itching, hot flashes/sweating. As of today, 06/14/2023, I am still experiencing the side effects. OAB has improved."
