Overactive Bladder – Symptoms & Causes

Medications

Some medications and drugs can also lead to an overactive bladder as their side effect. These include caffeine pills and water pills. They would increase the overall output of your urine and cause this organ to work harder. If you take your drugs with a lot of water, then it could also raise the production of urine considerably and lead to urgency or incontinence. Therefore, make sure to consult your healthcare provider carefully before deciding to take any drugs. Follow the instructions and avoid taking more than the recommended doses to prevent any possible side effects. [11]
