The Best and Cheapest Medications for Overactive Bladder

What’s the Cheapest Overactive Bladder Medication?

We offer savings of up to 87% on some of the most popular overactive bladder meds. For example, we’re able to sell a 30-day supply of Myrbetriq for about $117.00, instead of nearly $500.00 (the cost for American patients).

Through NorthWestPharmacy.com, American patients can buy a one-month supply of Vesicare for less than $100.00, vs paying up to $450 dollars at an American pharmacy.

However, whenever we discuss pricing for medications, it’s important to think about which overactive bladder medication is best for the particular overactive bladder symptoms you’re facing.

After all, saving a few bucks on the cheapest medication may not actually pay off if you’re still suffering from OAB (or experiencing bad side effects) while on that medication.

Fortunately, with the low prices we offer, American patients and patients worldwide don’t have to choose between the cheapest and the best OAB medication.

They can have both.

How the Best and Cheapest Overactive Bladder Medications Work

When a doctor prescribes an overactive bladder medication, the goal is relatively simple. Both doctor and patient want to see improved overactive bladder symptoms.

They also want to prevent any potential complications, which depend on a wide variety of factors – including the patient’s medical history, specific symptoms, and any other drugs they may be taking.

The first-line agents, or typical first-choice drugs, are anticholinergic medications (such as Oxytrol or Detrol LA) and the more recently-approved beta-3 receptor agonists (Myrbetriq). Both of these types of drugs ultimately work by relaxing the bladder, so it’s able to hold more urine before it needs to empty.

Want an illustrative visual? Imagine the difference in capacity between a stretchy water balloon and a more rigid container, and you’ll get the idea.

Anticholinergics and beta-3 receptor agonists give OAB patients the flexibility and breathing room they need to enjoy relief from the sudden, uncontrollable need to urinate.

That may sound simple but selecting the best prescription medication for overactive bladder can take time. Choosing the right medication and dosage is often a trial-and-error process for patients, done under the attention and supervision of their doctors.

Let’s take a quick look at the most popular overactive bladder medications to get an idea of the most common options.

The Best and Cheapest Prescription Overactive Bladder Medications

As noted above, we can break these medications into two general categories: Anticholinergics, and beta-3 receptor agonists. We’ll start with anticholinergics.

Anticholinergic Overactive Bladder Medications

These medications work by blocking acetylcholine, a chemical that tells your bladder muscles that it’s time to contract and urinate. If a drug blocks acetylcholine, it can block that sudden need to urinate.

Anticholinergics have been in use for a long time, which means that patients have several different ingredients and brands to choose from.

Here are a few of the most common anticholinergic active ingredients, along with their brand name medications (and discounted prices!):

Oxybutynin

The Oxytrol patch (oxybutynin) is a transdermal medication patch. You simply place the patch on your skin and change it every three or four days. You can go about your daily routine (even bathing) without needing to think about twice-daily oral meds.

Meanwhile, the patch continuously releases oxybutynin into your system, providing seamless relief for overactive bladder symptoms.

A box of 8 patches can retail for nearly $750.00 in the United States. At NorthWestPharmacy.com, you can purchase the same quantity of eight Oxytrol patches for around $88.00, or approximately $11.00 per patch (up to 87% savings).

Tolterodine

Detrol LA (tolterodine tartrate ER) is an extended-release urinary antispasmodic. Tolterodine blocks a neurotransmitter that makes the bladder empty itself.

Since Detrol LA is extended-release, it works continuously at a low concentration in the patient’s bloodstream. This provides fewer side effects – and lowers the risk of the drug wearing off and causing an unexpected bladder emergency.

It takes 1-2 months of taking Detrol LA consistently before you see the effects, so, consistency is key. In America, 30 capsules of Detrol LA retail for about $430.00.

Here, you can buy a one-month supply of Detrol LA starting at about $101.00 (up to 75% savings).

Fesoterodine

Toviaz (fesoterodine fumarate), like Detrol LA, is a once-daily oral antispasmodic that helps keep a patient’s bladder relaxed and helps promote reliable control over bathroom visits.

While Toviaz is an effective option, it is a newer drug, which can mean that its cost is a little higher.

In the United States, patients pay approximately $417.00 for a one-month supply of Toviaz. Americans who choose to buy Toviaz across the border, from an international or online Canada pharmacy site, save up to 65%. Here, at NorthWestPharmacy.com, you can buy a 28-day supply of Toviaz for around $140.00.

Trospium

Sanctura (trospium chloride) comes in two forms: An immediate-release formulation, and an extended-release option – Sanctura XR (trospium chloride XR).

Trospium chloride is another type of antispasmodic that relaxes a specific muscle, the detrusor muscle. The detrusor muscle contracts during urination to push urine out of a patient’s bladder. When this muscle is relaxed, the patient should enjoy more control over their need to urinate.

Generic trospium chloride is widely available in most American pharmacies. The brand-name medications are harder to find.

If you or your doctor prefers brand-name Sanctura for any reason, you may think you’re out of luck.

That is, until you check what’s in stock at an online Canadian drugstore or international one.

At NorthWestPharmacy.com, you can buy 60 tablets of Sanctura for around $100.00, or buy 28 tablets of Sanctura XR for approximately $114.00.

Solifenacin

Vesicare (solifenacin) is, like many of the other medications on this list, a urinary antispasmodic. It can help reduce the frequency with which a patient needs to urinate.

Patients should be aware that Vesicare can cause drowsiness in some circumstances, which means that taking Vesicare is associated with increased risk of falls.

American patients pay around $450.00 for one month of treatment of Vesicare.

Alternatively, patients in the United States can buy a one-month supply of Vesicare from an international or Canadian pharmacy for around $88.00 (up to 80% savings).

Darifenacin

Enablex (darifenacin) is a prescription antispasmodic medication that calms symptoms associated with overactive bladder. Weight gain is a common side effect experienced while taking Enablex.

Enablex is often recommended for patients who have kidney conditions, as no dose adjustments are required for people who have renal insufficiency.

Generic darifenacin is widely available in the United States. This can lead to difficulties sourcing Enablex, which can be a problem if you or your doctor prefers the brand-name medication.

Through NorthWestPharmacy.com, you can buy a four week supply (28 pills) of Enablex for around $83.00. If you want the generic, we sell that here, too: You can purchase a 30-day supply of darifenacin for around $53.00.

Beta-3 Adrenergic Agonists

Beta-3 adrenergic agonists activate specific receptors – or places that special trigger chemicals bind – on a patient’s bladder. After this activation happens, the bladder relaxes. This enables the bladder to hold more urine.

The most popular beta-3 adrenergic agonist is mirabegron.

Mirabegron

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) is a brand-name medication that was approved by the FDA in 2012 to help treat overactive bladder.

Since Myrbetriq is safe, new, and effective, there’s a lot of demand for it.

As a result, Myrbetriq is incredibly expensive.

In the United States, a 30-day supply of Myrbetriq starts at about $492.00, or approximately $16.40 per pill.

American patients who would like to experience the safe efficacy of this new treatment without the big sticker price can buy a 30-day supply of Myrbetriq through NorthWestPharmacy.com for around $117.00, or just under $4.00 per pill (up to 75% savings).

What’s more, even though generic mirabegron is difficult to find in America, we sell it here. You can buy a one-month supply of mirabegron for around $88.00, or just under $3.00 per pill.

What You Need to Know About the Cheapest Overactive Bladder Medication

Although both anticholinergic drugs and beta-3 adrenergic agonists are effective, taking them does come with a learning curve. Here’s some helpful information.

Which Overactive Bladder Medication Has the Least Side Effects?

The overactive bladder medication that has the least side effects will depend on your specific symptoms.

As a general rule, common side effects associated with beta-3 adrenergic agonists include constipation, elevated blood pressure, sinus irritation, UTIs, headaches, and dizziness.

Common side effects include nausea, blurry vision, drowsiness, constipation, and dry mouth.

Are There Options Other than the Best Prescription Medications for Overactive Bladder?

There is one over-the-counter medication for overactive bladder in America: Oxytrol patches. In Canada, a prescription is required for this purchase.

While there are some lifestyle recommendations that may help, generally, the most universally effective overactive bladder medications tend to be approved, safe prescription medications.

If your symptoms don’t seem to be responding to prescription medications, your doctor may be able to help you pursue alternative treatment.

Some women may benefit from hormonal therapy to relieve OAB; in other cases, tricyclic antidepressants have shown some promise.

What Precautions Do I Need to Take Before Starting Overactive Bladder Medications?

Reading the fine print associated with your specific medication and following your doctor’s instructions are always a good start.

If you’re a patient with heart issues, kidney or liver problems, or any gastrointestinal conditions, make sure your doctor is aware of your condition and any treatment plan you’re following before they prescribe your overactive bladder medications. Your doctor will need to check to make sure that your medications all work together as safely and effectively as possible.
