“I noticed I was going to the bathroom a lot”
[Text on screen] Knowing the Signs
“And had a sudden urge to go like, now! I kept having to say “10-1” at work, which is code for having to go to the bathroom.
I thought my nickname was going to be 10-1 because I went so often. I even made special wardrobe requests so I could go to the bathroom easily and quickly.”

“I avoided going to the gym and instead worked out at home. With my OAB symptoms, I would always book an aisle seat on a plane trip and make sure I had my incontinence underwear handy.”
[Text on screen] Talking to the Doctor
“I started having symptoms of overactive bladder or OAB several years ago but was diagnosed about a year ago. At first, I thought the symptoms were a part of aging, especially as menopause was honestly kicking my butt at the time. I realized something else was going on because it was this urgent need to go. I finally talked to my doctor about it, and he told me it may be OAB.
He explained to me that OAB symptoms are not necessarily part of aging, and that we should discuss the right plan for my symptoms. Sharing with my doctor felt great because it helped me understand a piece of the puzzle of my overall health. I want people out there to know they don't have to wait. Listen to your body and find help.”

My doctor told me that OAB isn’t necessarily a part of aging.
At first, I thought the symptoms were a part of aging, especially as menopause was honestly kicking my butt at the time.
I would tell those living with OAB to listen to what your body is telling you. If you’re dealing with similar symptoms, don’t just brush ‘em off like I did. Listen to your body and find help.”
Could OAB be impacting your daily activities?
Our self-assessment tool can help you review your symptoms and discuss them with your doctor so that a proper diagnosis can be made.

My doctor and I decided that GEMTESA was the right option for me.
I travel all the time. With my symptoms, there was a lot of added stress and worry.
GEMTESA is a prescription medication for the treatment of OAB in adults clinically proven to reduce symptoms of leakage episodes, urgency, and frequency.
I wish I’d known sooner! By proactively managing my OAB symptoms, I’m able to spend more time planning my activities and less time mapping out bathrooms away from home.”

Don't wait, ask your doctor about GEMTESA
GEMTESA has proven to be effective in treating 3 key symptoms of OAB—leakage episodes, urgency, and frequency—in just 12 weeks.
In a clinical study vs placebo (sugar pill)†
The most common side effects of GEMTESA were headache, urinary tract infection, nasal congestion, sore throat or runny nose, diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infection

Less than 2% of people in the pivotal trial stopped taking GEMTESA because of side effects
†403 people received GEMTESA and 405 people received placebo when measuring daily leakage episodes. 526 people received GEMTESA and 520 people received placebo when measuring bathroom visits per day.
