It seemed to help somewhat. I stopped the patch after about 6 months and was better than when I started using it - although still having some of the problems just not as bad.

I have multiple sclerosis and have been on oxytrol (1-1/2 yrs) and ditropan for three years and found there is a slight bit of relief over the years. I get UTI's almost every 2-3 months which exaggerates my exacerbations.

doesn't seem to work for me and the left over adhesive is hard to remove. I would rather take a pill.
