Anyone have experience with treatments for urge Incontinence?

Posted by notmoff @notmoff, Oct 10, 2023

Does anyone have experience using Mirabegron for urinary urge incontinence? I'm considering it for a long-term issue, but only if it doesn't cause or worsen cognitive issues.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Conditions Support Group.

I tried it and gave me headaches.
I am on a new drug Gemtesa
It is expensive
Just started about March 4
2026. No side effects takes 2-3 weeks to work supposedly. Very expensive too.
I am going less but I have
NMIBC.

@kandypatel I’ve been on Gemtessa for about 2 years, one every other day. I still leak during the day and have an occasional gush when I stand up if I wait too long when I get an urge. I. wear Poise overnight pads during the day but nights are very little problem. Only get up about once during the night. Gemtessa is also expensive. Poise really sucks it up. 🥹. Sheila
