How does one combat the spiriva side effect of trouble urinating?

Tough Question: Spiriva can cause difficulty urinating in patients with prostate enlargement. Most patients without this ailment do fine on the drug. If you develop difficulty urinating you should stop the drug.

Anticholinergic meds: Medications with an anticholinergic effect tend to relax the bladder and reduce the force of bladder contractions. This side effect should disappear when the drug is stopped. If the drug cannot be changed, there is some chance that this side effect will lessen with time.
