I'm new here and so glad to have found this list. I live with
Virginia 78/8, my mother. I would appreciate hearing anyone's
experiences/knowlege about the drug oxybutynin (Ditropan) or with the drug
propantheline (Pro-Banthine) in conjunction with Sinemet and Parkinsons.
If it's of interest: My mother's drug regimen is Sinemet CR,
Naproxen, a calcium supplement tablet, Premarin, plus very occasionally a
muscle relaxer tablet at bedtime (the word Flexiril comes to mind, but
that may not be it), and rarely one Trazadone.
Ditropan and Pro-Banthine are two types of bladder muscle
relaxers, prescribed for people with detrusor hyperreflexia. My
layperson's interpretation of detrusor hyperreflexia is: involuntary
contractions of the bladder detrusor muscle, which are one cause of
urinary frequency and urges.
Best,
Lynne Motley
