Botox: The active ingredient in Botox (there are a few strands of botulinum toxin on the market now) has just been approved for overactive bladder and has actually been used for quite a few years with great success. Only thing to keep in mind is that the effects do wear off after 6-8 months and there is always a possibility of side effects occurring. Hope that helps!

Hi, I have had an irritable bladder for 45 days. I took Solifenacin for 21 days and was then put on Tolterodone for 6.5 days, but the problem is still there. I heard that a Botox injection will cure it. Is this true? Sharon Reddell?
