Hi, for several years I've been taking 20mg of Oxybutynin a day for an over active bladder. The medication helps a lot but I wonder if I'll have to take this for the rest of my life or if there other treatments I could consider now? I have also notice my bladder doesn't fully empty when I go to the toilet, it seems to hold some urine back, is there any help for that?
Many thanks

There are lots of other tablet treatments available as well as some transdermal (skin patch) preparations. You can discuss alternatives with your GP. There is a tablet called Mirabegron which doesn't associate with poor bladder emptying and this may suit you.
