You must first get a diagnosis before you can begin treatment is any kind. Incontinence is commonly caused by a bladder infection and treatments are easy to get and take. There are also medicines that are formulated to increase the person's ability to tighten the bladder sphincter.

Bladder infections may be caused by a blockage such as kidney stones, bladder stones, enlarged prostates, or catheter insertions. It is much easier for bacteria to come in contact with the female urinary system, making them much more common in them than men.

Other drugs known to fall under this generic category are Ditropan, Sanctura, and Detrol. These are all proven effective medication usually taken orally, although there are some that can be bought in the forms of medicated skin patches and creams.

Side-effects to taking oral medication include a dry mouth and frequent feeling of thirst, while skin irritations is a common adverse reaction to application of skin patches and creams. Some people resort to taking anti-depressant drugs such as Imipramine which has been reported to help relax the bladder muscles. It is a prescribed medication for people with incontinence or bladder control problems. The side effect, however, often includes drowsiness.The more serious side effects to taking Imipramine should be discussed with the doctor and are often dizziness, blurred vision, and irregular heartbeat.

Stress incontinence involves the lack of tone to the bladder sphincter. Exercise activity or even a rough cough can lead to urine leaking passed the sphincter. Medicines such as the alpha adrenergic agonist family help the urinary sphincter keep its tone and give it more strength.

A fashionable plant based medicine for these issues is the "N-Con Tonic". It is food and drug administration approved and is manufactured using 100% homeopathic ingredients.

Sometimes older children who are suffering from bedwetting can be prescribed tricyclic antidepressants. You should always watch your children closely for any side effects or changes in mood and eating habits. Another medication prescribed to reduce nighttime urine production is Desmopresin.

Women who are both postmenopausal and suffering from bladder control problems can try a new estrogen therapy. It is known that the hormone estrogen plays a significant role in maintaining the strength and tone of the pelvic floor muscles in women.

Other alternative sources of bladder control medication may be prescribed or recommended by physicians. It is imperative that self-diagnosis is avoided and proper treatment should involve the advice of a medical professional.
