Pee too much? New drug is double the trouble!
What do you do when you can’t treat a REAL disease?
Make one up – and treat that instead!
The FDA has just approved a new treatment for a completely fabricated condition, yet many people — even most DOCTORS — are falling for it.
It certainly sounds “real.” It’s called overactive bladder, or OAB for short.
But even if you’ve been “diagnosed,” you don’t need to expose yourself to the very real risks of being treated for this very FAKE disease!
Overactive bladder isn’t a real disease. Giving it a fancy name, an abbreviation, and a series of expensive drugs doesn’t change that – not in the slightest.
But it’s a pretty neat trick if you’re a dollar-chasing pharma exec with no concern at all for patients who start thinking every bathroom dash is a sign of something seriously wrong.
In reality, peeing too much can have a number of different causes.
Most mainstream docs are too lazy to actually hunt for the right one.
So, they “diagnose” you with a non-disease and then reach for the ol’ prescription pad.
Hey, look what the FDA just approved – aren’t you lucky?!
Well, based on the price attached to what was just approved, I’d say that the money-grubbers counting beans at drugmaker headquarters are the lucky ones.
See, the newly approved treatment is actually TWO drugs — a combo of mirabegron AND solifenacin succinate that adds up to close to $8,000 a year if you pay retail. (No generic version is available at this time.)
And even if your insurance is picking up the tab, that’s two MORE copays a month, which will most likely kick you up to one of the higher tiers on your plan.
What do YOU get for the money you spend?
The first drug is known to raise blood pressure… trigger headaches… and inflame the space deep inside your nose, which gives you cold-like symptoms, minus the cold.
That’s not even the worst of it.
This drug — supposedly designed to treat urinary problems — can CAUSE urinary tract infections.
Then, to cap it off, it can cause diarrhea. That’s right — you’re peeing less, but now you’re running to the toilet because you’re running like a faucet out the OTHER end!
And when you DO pee, it burns.
The second drug isn’t much better. It can dry your mouth out and cause indigestion and constipation.
Oh, but don’t worry. The feds say that the side effects are “only” mild or moderately severe. Hooray?
Neither drug will cure the cause of the overactive bladder, which as I said is usually a sign of some other health problem or disease.
But they can mask that symptom. You pee less – and generate some VERY expensive urine in the process – which sounds like a plus but is actually a minus.
Since the drugs are “working,” your doc will list you as “better.” You’re CURED (of a non-disease)… but only as long as you take your meds.
So, he’ll stop looking for the true cause… and just keep writing you refills.
Don’t let him.
Bladder spasms can be caused by dairy allergies (which often go undiagnosed). Drink milk or eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, and you could end up dashing back and forth to the toilet without even knowing why.
Hidden chemicals such as MSG and other food additives can cause them, too.
If your doc dedicates more than six-and-a-half minutes per patient, he can help you find – and avoid – the cause.
In the meantime, magnesium can settle down ALL muscles, including the one tensing up around your bladder.
And you’ll get better, safer, and cheaper results.
