Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

Urotone and flotral is used to Increase bladder pressure and decrease resistance to urine flow. You mother might have a bladder outlet obstruction which is quite common for elderly females. Continue the medicine for one month and check for improvement. Amount of fluid should be around 1-1.5liters per day and she should be able to urinate the same amount of her intake. I suggest keeping a voiding diary where you measure how much she drinks and how much she urinates and show this to her MD so they will be guided.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes
