Yes, thanks. I also read that it relaxes the gastric muscles so as to prevent intestinal “spasms,” which cause the urgency. It does work, I just resist being on a medication constantly that is also anticholinergic. There is research about those, including diphenhydramine, that suggests they can cause cognitive issues. My doc says not to worry.
