I had to switch to Ditropan due to cost and coverage by insurance. I was previously on Detrol LA. The dry mouth and dental problems have been worse on the ditropan(oxybutynin) I cut my dose in half and have had less problems,but I MUST take the second dose of the day or I have leaks. Previously the dose that made me so dry would last me longer,which is why I thought two smaller doses would work for me. It did, but it's a pain in the neck to have to take two doses where there is a drug that is once a day(Detrol LA)

I tried Detrol, enablex and Gelnique. none worked long term and the Gelnique especially gave me dry eyes and constipation. I finally went off Gelnique and the only problems I have are occasional dribbling if I dont go about every 2-3 hours. 71 yr old female

I had taken Gelnique for several months and had extremely good results from the very first day of use. However, I developed an itching and red, bumpy rash which I could only associate with the med. I have since switched to a pill form, oxybutynin 5mg. It is not a effective as the Gelnique intotally eliminating the original symptoms but I have removed the rash and most of the itiching. Also the pill is the basic Gelnique and is vastly less expensive!
