There are other medications used to treat incontinence. If you find that the Uroxatral isn't working for you, you may want to discuss other options with your doctor.

Uroxatrol is one of a series of drugs known as alpha-blockers that help relax the prostate and result in better bladder emptying. If the incontinence persists while on the medication, other treatments will also be required.
