Overactive bladder in cerebral ataxia

[Helen1000]

Can anyone recommend drugs to address this please? I would really appreciate it.

Hi

I have SCA3 and have been using once a day, in the evening. 1 tablet 60 mg of Trospium Chloride. Works a treat..

Morning Helen, when I saw the Ataxia nurse she referred me to my GP about prescribing an anticholinergic.

Hope this helps.

GOOD LUCK

hi, I use tropsium chloride. One every evening before bed. It really does work. Also doing bladder retraining with a midwife at the moment and haven't had a little accident for 2 weeks now🙂

The supplement pumpkin seed extract or Go Less works for me.

My doc referred me for a (painless) cystoscopy. After, the Consultant recommended I drink de-caf tea etc, and prescribed oestrogen to strengthen the urethra and bladder muscles. This has helped tremendously, I no longer have 'accidents', and only have to get up once during the night as opposed to 6/7 times!

Good luck!
