Hi Jim/Connie and rest of group,

The Pharmacist looked up the side effects on all the frequently prescribed

prescriptions for urinary frequency and urgency....I don't believe this

search included incontinence....and said that listed for each (either in

the common side effects area or the less common side effects areas) was a

sentence about " not using this drug if you have experienced problems with

unstabilized or low blood pressure " . The curious thing is that it seems to

not be a problem with the general population...but with PD/MSA/OH. Wonder

what the connection is?

If your urologist and neurologist both approved the Ditropan XL then I am

sure that they are aware of possible side effects and believed that the

good outweighed the bad in Connie's case.

We read with interest and concern your posting stating pharmacist said

" all meds currently on mkt for urinary...snb take for persons with

low/fluctuating bp. " Did the druggist tell you why?.....
