Drugs are only temporary fixes to the bedwetting. They treat the symptom and not the cause. In most cases bedwetting recurs after the drugs are stopped. |
Poor.
Bedwetter sleeps too deeply to hear the alarm and even if the bedwetter awakes, the parent does not know how to change the sleep pattern. |
| Comments: |

The most effective method of treatment. One on one, telephone or in person, weekly counseling sessions. Recognizes uniqueness of each bedwetter's sleep pattern and physical makeup. Treats bladder capacity and sphincter muscle as well as the primary sleep disorder. Professionals on staff. Drug free. |
Many recognize the bedwetting problem as a sleep disorder, but treat all bedwetters the same. Standard practice is to have the patient (parent) fill out a weekly/monthly form with standardized questions, and they respond with proposed treatment by mail. Some companies claim to be Foundations, Associations and Not For Profit organizations. They rarely have degreed or trained professionals. Some send salesmen to the home. Often one person company. |
DDAVP, Imipramine and Oxybutynin are usually prescribed by MD's. |
Primarily used to wake the bedwetter, but the patient sleeps deeply and usually doesn't awaken from it. Also, the alarm sounds after the bedwetting, when it is too late to catch the bedwetter, therefore losing its effectiveness. Virtually useless without knowledge of what to do when the bedwetter is awakened. Return to Purchase Page |
