Is SANCTURA XR® Right for You?

Are you looking for relief from Overactive Bladder (OAB) symptoms like urge urinary incontinence and frequent urination? All with a low occurrence of bothersome side effects? Then ask your doctor if SANCTURA XR® may be a good option for you.

SANCTURA XR® capsules have been shown to offer relief of OAB symptoms — with a low risk of side effects. In one study of 578 patients, 90% of people taking SANCTURA XR® did not experience dry mouth. And only 1 in 100 people stopped therapy as a result of this side effect.

SANCTURA XR® capsules and certain other medicines that are processed by the kidney can interact and make some side effects worse. SANCTURA XR® can affect how other medicines are handled by the body. See the Important Safety Information for more details about drug interactions.

Talk to your doctor about whether SANCTURA XR® capsules are right for you.

SANCTURA XR® is used to treat adults with Overactive Bladder who may have the following symptoms:

  • urge urinary incontinence
  • frequent urination
  • a strong and immediate need to urinate

Some people experience leakage, or loss of bladder control, only during physical activity. Like when they sneeze, cough, laugh, or exercise. This is known as stress incontinence and is different from OAB. SANCTURA XR® capsules are not approved for stress incontinence.
