hockey,
I agree with you. Urinary (and/or stool) incontinence should always bee discussed with doctors, first the attending, then perhaps a urologist, Gi, and neurologist. There are many different causes of incontinence. Gynecological causes, urology causes, and there can be causes such as autoimmune disorders (like MS) and other kinds of neuropathies.

I agree medications for neurogenic bladder can have serious side effects, and has to be considered.

Regarding the adverticed undergarment. In many cases these can be of great help, after the underlying problem has been discussed with the appropriate doctor. JUST, it is important than to also advertise the appropriate skin protection products to use.

Starznight,

I agree with you, over the counter medication should always be used in consultation with the attending doctor.
This also goes for all the vitamin supplements, that are advertised.

Tylenol has a maximum daily dose of 3000 mg. It has serious liver damage potentials. But the med is a general safe pain med and antipyretic med to use from time to time, but not for long periods of time.

Some people can not use the NSA (non steroid anti inflammatory) meds such as Advil and Ibuprofen and others. This is because of a potential GI bleeding side effect these meds have. For the people using daily Aspirin, this is a contraindication, due to a double bleeding risk.

Many cardiologists have their patients on a daily small dose ASA of 81 mg.( it is often called a baby aspirin) This may be patients of high risk of blood cloths from narrowing of vessels due to plaque.
Also neurologists, have patients on daily ASA to prevent strokes. These patients may have had strokes or TIA s in the past.

It is always a fine line, and difficult to decide. Strokes and heart attacks, MI are caused by ischemia, and ischemia is caused by eighteen a blood clot or a hemorrhage.

So therefor, I think it should always be included in the commercial the importance to have this monitored by a physician. People should not self medicate.
I have to be on a both anti platelet aggregation med and ASA. due to 2 previous small CVA that thankfully did not leave me with lasting limitations.
People should take their ASA in the evening, because strokes often happens in the early am.
People on this med should be carefully monitored and be instructed regarding fall prevention. In my case, with neuropathy and balance problems, I take good care.

SO, MEDICATION SHOULD BE TAKEN UNDERS THE CARE OF A DOCTOR.
