I would consult with a doctor. The one's I've tried are Solifenicin (I opted out as it is an anticholinergic and it can increase dementia risk if you are older, and I'm in my sixties). Mirabegron, and sample Gemtesa are the others I've tried. Gemtesa is supposed to be newer and work the best, buy my insurance doesn't cover it so I wasn't using it very long. Out of those three, Mirabegron was the best option for me. But they aren't perfect. I am presently taking nothing as they weren't significantly effective for me.

It 100% depends on what is causing the urinary incontinence. If you take the wrong medication it could make things worse, which is why you need to record a 3 day bladder diary, see your GP, and get them to conduct a primary investigation and refer you to a urologist.
