: Why do you have to rely on OTC supplement(s) if there are effective medications for voiding issue for people at your age if the etiology is defined.

Question 5

Not really: Otc Pyridium (phenazopyridine) may help symptoms, but will not cure an infection. It may also cause your urine to turn funny colors.  Best advice is to see your physician and have your urine tested. In the meantime, increase fluid intake.

Question 6

are there medicines to help decrease  frequent urination?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If underlying cause is overactive bladder, the anti-cholinergic class of medication can be of great utility.

Question 7

will taking levaquin (levofloxacin) and many medicines cause frequent urination?

Accepted Answer

No. But,: Levaquin (levofloxacin) should not cause frequent urination. Some medicines could slow down emptying of bladder (eg, decongestants). If the bladder does not empty well, frequent incomplete voids may develop. Also, subsequent UTI and kidney disease may develop in this case, esp in men with prostate enlargement.
