Suggest Ways To Wean Off Of Myrbetriq

default
Posted on Wed, 15 Feb 2017
Question: Is there a danger in discontinuing Myrbetric without some kind of "step down?" My husband has Alzheimer's (moderate-severe) and has been urinary incontinent for some time. His Urologist retired last month. I have a referral but am questioning if it is time to let some things go.
