Is there a medicine that helps control overactive bladders and is safe for people with Alzheimer’s dementia?

There is also the issue of a lifetime of prescription drugs causing a lifetimes of liver damage.

There comes a time of needing to realize the balance....is the possible benefit of the drug out weighed by the liver damage incurred at this point.

Depends for women are pretty reliable, and are pull ups...just like pants...easy to change.

Maybe your pharmacist could recommend a medicine that works the same way as Myrbetrique but without the same side effects? Sorry that M didn’t work for her because it has helped FIL greatly. Bummer.
Another thought....if the depends pull ups leak ( from total bladder loss)....you can add a bladder guard inside the depends....it might help to prevent so many depends changes during the day.

I just ordered some booster pads to put in mom's Always pullups. I hope they work. She tried poise pads but they didn't come off of the Always easily and the booster pads are MADE for going inside another product. I LOVE the idea of her being able to quickly and easily remove that pad and NOT be in a yucky wet pullup as I don't think she changes it as much as she should. I can see why - it's a lot of work, although very necessary, IMHO.

Did the doc suggest anything else besides a med? Did she go to a urologist or her PCP? My mom cancelled her urology appt which was very frustrating. I wish she would go and at least see if there is a physical reason for all these peeing issues.

Good luck.

LeeEps I ordered from NorthShore brand through amazon. Haven't received yet but hopeful.

My mom is not completely incontinent and is having good luck with the Always pullup. I don't know of any instances where it failed her. Yet!
