Before considering Botox, you need to use an Anticholinergic medication such as Oxybutynin. if anticholinergic drugs do not help you – then you may consider Botox as a second resort. Botox is a recommended treatment for an overactive bladder – but treatment needs to be redone about every 8 months. And can be repeated. Botox is injected directly into your bladder muscle and dulls the nerves that control your bladder muscle and cause a need to urinate.
