Sanctura XR (Cont.)

Sanctura XR Effects

Studies have shown Sanctura XR can help relieve many of the symptoms of an overactive bladder. In clinical studies, people who took Sanctura XR significantly reduced the frequency of bladder accidents. Also, people who took Sanctura XR needed to urinate less frequently and were able to pass more urine each time they used the bathroom (the frequent muscle contractions of an overactive bladder usually prevent the bladder from holding a normal amount of urine). For most people, Sanctura XR started to work within the first week of use.
