@fdixon63 That must have been a scary situation for you, especially without any warning.

I do see that Myrbetriq is used for overactive bladder, an helps slow down the large muscles around the bladder. One of the side effects listed is indeed constipation. See the link I posted below from rxlist.com. I wonder if the combination of the Myrbetriq and laxatives were simply too much for your system to handle? What did the results of the EGD and colonoscopy show?

Hi Ginger. Thanks for your response. I'll go to the site you sent to read more but I've read the literature that came with the samples from the GU doc. I actually have an appt with my urologist next week as a follow up to see how I've tolerated the Myrbetriq. Here is the exact wording from the report: EGD findings--Patchy area of erythema in the antrum biopsies obtained and small sliding hiatal hernia esophagitis. Colonoscopy-In the transverse colon there were a sissile polyp was about 0.5 X 0.6 cm removed by hot biopsy forceps. Multiple diverticuli no sign of diverticulitis or bleeding. Faye
