This is not a miracle pill but it does work. If you read the instructions you'll be able to open the package with ease and liken all medications you need to consult with your doctor before taking. The patch will not fall off easily if placed on your skin correctly and yes like any foreign object placed on your skin for days you will have a slight redness in the area after removing and if your...

I have frequent urination and urgency, occasionally leaking when I suddenly need to go. This product did nothing for me. I used one box with no benefit, not even less waking at night to go. I have better luck with doing Kagel exercises than I had with this medication.

I found the patch to be somewhat effective, pills work better for me. It is hard to get out of the package, and VERY uncomfortable once on. Hard to remove adhesive once taken off. If the medication had a different delivery system ( patch material ) I would rate it higher. Will use on days I'm very busy or for traveling.

I got great results in using this medication.However the patch did scratch my skin, each time it left a long line like a fingernail scratch. But I must say I went from using the Poise for moderate leaks to the light. I plan to continue using them.

After using the patch for 12 days, I suddenly developed joint pain and weakness in both hips and the right knee. I immediately stopped the patch, but after two weeks still have the pain to the point of limping.

I was skeptical this would work for me but it has made a huge difference. I was barely able to make it to the bathroom in the morning and had many little accidents quite frequently. I would say I have a 80% improvement immediately.

I had times when the urine just started flowing while on the patch. Not worth the cost. Better choice is wearing a pad all the time.

Using this product left bruises on me where I placed the patches and it itched immensely. I have stopped using it due to the itching it caused and now months later my thighs still itch.

I put on the patch at 6am. The nausea began within the hour, then extreme drowsiness, vomiting, diarrhea, headache. I removed the patch at 11 am,and spent the next 20 hours with the above distressing symptoms. A very miserable day and night. Intestinal distress lingers. I can't be in this condition at work, so I will have to continue frequent hurried trips to the bathroom. Too bad.

The packaging will keep me from using this on a regular basis.It was just so so for me.I did get up less frequent at night but I am not sure If the price and getting the damn thing out of the package was worth It.

Within a few hours after applying patch, I could tell it was working. I have slept better than I have in years. I sleep 5 or 6 hours at a time instead of getting up every 2 hours to run to the bathroom. Also helps in the daytime< can actually lead a more normal life. I do have the rash and itching.

I had been on 10mg of oxybutynin for a year with great results, move and haven't gotten new doctor yet, so decided to try the patch. seems to help with the bladder control but my hot flashes are back in the 3rd week of use. I didn't not have them while on the pill of oxybutynin, only side effect was dry mouth. will stop using patch and get my prescription renew when I see the doctor.

It didn't work at all. I still go to the bathroom at least 10 times a day. When I was starting my 3rd patch I went to the bathroom 3 times in 2 hours while I was at an event. I was so embarrassed. I lost my receipt so I can't get my money back. I just want want others to save their $20. The patch also left scars every where I put it.

I've been using the OTC version for just under three weeks. It has alleviated my frequent urination but not without side effects: I have vertigo-like symptoms, and sometimes get dizzy even sitting down. I'm dry all the time--my mouth, eyes and skin. The patch "leaps" off the skin after a day so it makes this crinkling sound when I move. It itches like mad underneath and leaves red lines and residue. I use eye makeup remover to take it off. Other than that, it has helped me.

Had an allergic reaction to this drug. Should not be used with out a doctor prescription. It looks like it burned my skin,my eyes got runny,and I puffed up. I then had to take benadryl. I am allergic to aspirin and sulfur as well. Be very careful taking this drug if you have any allergies

This works good for me. I just hate trying to open it. I get rather frustrated. Other than that having to change every three to four days can become pricey. I'll just say I am glad there is this to do for yourself. it helps me a lot at night. I like it.
