I love the effects of this drug/delivery system, but develop a rash on all of the treatment areas, despite the fact that I rotate them daily to try and lessen the effect. The rash is small itchy bumps. Insurance doesn't cover the $200/mo cost, so I can't use it every month. Didn't realize oxybutnin was available in an oral med, may ask my pharmacist about that.

Though Gelnique undoubtedly worked for me, cutting way down on frequency and allowing me to sleep for the first time, Medicare does not pay for it, and it is quite expensive at $200 per month.

Both forms do cause dry mouth, which seems to be something you have to put up with in order to treat an overactive bladder. I've tried six different drugs and this (Oxybutinin) is the most effective.

This drug works wonderfully and the difference it made in OAB was exceptional. The worst thing, which has become a huge problem for me, is that one of the side effects is "dry mouth" and it gets worse with time. It gets so bad that you eventually have NO saliva. This is the only side effect that I had but one that I just can't tolerate anymore. I never realized how important sal ... Show Full Comment

This is the only side effect that I had but one that I just can't tolerate anymore. I never realized how important saliva is until you don't produce it! I am heading back to the Doctor to explore other options! :(
