[Text on screen] Diane’s Go-Getter Journey

My name is Diane, and my friends describe me as a connector and a mentor.

Overactive bladder, or OAB, had a major impact on my everyday life.

[Text on screen] Diane is a real patient taking GEMTESA who has been compensated for her participation.

I couldn't drink water like I should have. And I always had to make sure to go to the bathroom before I left the house.

And when I arrive at a restaurant, I would probably go to the bathroom first before sitting down and ordering food to make sure I could make it through the meal.

So, it permeated my life.

I remember one time, I was sitting out on my patio enjoying a lovely brunch with my girlfriends and all of a sudden I felt that got-to-go feeling. And I stood up and I just had an accident, a wetting accident.

And I was so mortified.

[Text on screen] Please see Important Safety Information included in this video.

Like many people, I thought these symptoms — like urgency — that got-to-go NOW feeling, frequency that got-to-go often feeling, and leakage or wetting accidents — were just a normal part of aging.

When I was struggling with OAB symptoms, I tried everything from Kegels to other medications, but I still didn't feel comfortable enough to wear pads less often or be too far from a bathroom.

That's when I finally asked my doctor about GEMTESA.

And let me tell you, I am so glad I did.

I have places to go and people to encourage with my go-getter attitude.

GEMTESA is a prescription medication for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) and adults with symptoms of leakage episodes, urgency, and frequency.

Do not take GEMTESA if you are allergic to vibegron or any of the ingredients in GEMTESA.

GEMTESA may cause serious side effects, such as increasing your chances of not being able to empty your bladder.

Tell your doctor right away if you are unable to empty your bladder.

GEMTESA may cause serious side effects, such as increasing your chances of not being able to empty your bladder.

Tell your doctor right away if you are unable to empty your bladder.

My doctor told me about GEMTESA, and about the most common side effects including headache, urinary tract infection, nasal congestion, sore throat or runny nose, diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infection.

[Text on screen] Most common side effects may include headache, urinary tract infection, nasal congestion, sore throat or runny nose, diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infection.

I didn't know OAB was chronic, but I do now.

Like any chronic condition, it's important to stick to your treatment to see continued results.

My doctor told me I should start to see results on GEMTESA after 12 weeks of consistent use, so I made sure to take GEMTESA every day.

He also told me that GEMTESA isn't an overnight fix.

[Text on screen] Individual results may vary.

There are no overnight fixes.

You have to be consistent with taking GEMTESA to see results.

I've been on GEMTESA for three years now and I can't imagine going back.

Since I started with GEMTESA, I have fewer OAB symptoms.

I don't have to worry about where the bathrooms are all the time.

I wish I'd known about GEMTESA sooner, but now it's my mission to help others know there are options for treating OAB.

I think there's definitely a stigma, but I hope to change that because I feel that if I'd talk to other women sooner, I may not have needed to cope or suffer in silence for so long.

I want you to go do something other than just cope with OAB symptoms and talk to your doctor.
