What is another prescription medication, for urinary incontinence, that would do the same thing as Detrol LA?


I take care of my mother. She was given samples of Detrol LA (for urinary Incontenence). Her doctor gave her a prescription, only to discover that her insurance will not pay for it. She has both Tenncare & Medicare (Wellcare). I called & left a message for the doctor, asking him if he could call in something similar, that Wellcare would pay for. His nurse called me back & said for me contact the insurance, find out what a good substitute was & call them back to let them know & the doctor would call it in. Odd he doesn't know. But I'm too busy to call & be placed on hold w/the insurance co, so I was hoping someone on here would know & could tell me some other prescription urinary incontinence medications, that work the same as Detrol LA. I can check online if Wellcare pays for it for a not. So just some prescription names would be very helpful. Thank you!

Ditropan, Ditropan XL, Oxytrol, Sanctura, Vesicare, and Enablex. They all run at varying costs, one of them should be cheaper than Detrol.
