They are very effective medications. However, the patient must continue to take the medications on chronic basis for them to be effective.
MABEL JONG: What happens if they don't?
ROBERT SALANT, MD: If the patient does stop the medication, within a week or two weeks, the symptoms of overactive bladder return.
What I have found is that the new once-a-day formulations aid in compliance and there is a much higher rate of patients continuing with therapy and experiencing the benefits.
MABEL JONG: Do you find that people are talking about this condition more and more?
ROBERT SALANT, MD: There is no question that it's becoming much more common, especially aided by media, TV, journals, publications that talk about these symptoms. Instead of it being something that people are afraid to talk about, and to leave it to saying that it's part of aging -- that it is something that can be treated and can be treated successfully and oftentimes in a very easy way.
MABEL JONG: Dr. Salant, Dr. Chaikin, thank you very much for joining us today. And thank you for watching our webcast. I'm Mabel Jong.
