6 Unexpected Uses for Botox

This condition causes patients to feel the sudden urge to urinate and, in some cases, develop incontinence (leaking urine). According to the Urology Care Foundation, there are currently around 33 million diagnosed cases of overactive bladder in the US. With such a large number of patients with this condition, many have turned to the FDA-approved use of Botox. If drugs prescribed for overactive bladder don’t work as effectively as they could, doctors can use Botox to relax the bladder muscles. This can lead to higher bladder capacity and a lower risk of incontinence. Talk to your pharmacist and doctor about this option if you have overactive bladder.
