Yes: FDA recommends at least 12 weeks between injections. Vesicare (solifenacin) is only 1 of the meds.that can be tried for OAB.OAB if you have 2 of:urinate 8 timess a day & 2times a night,urgent urination often,leak urine frequently. Botox take about 2 wk to work.May last up to 8mos. Pills give more dry mouth. Botox gives more UTIs & more need for catheterization than pills.I hope this inf is helpful.
