<sup>9</sup> Acceptable sx control may require trials of multiple tx options [CP]. Persist w/ new tx for adequate trial to determine efficacy, tolerability; d/c tx if efficacy not demonstrated. Assemble combo tx methodically, adding new tx only when relative efficacy of preceding tx known [EO]. Appropriate duration: 8-12 wks for behavioral, 4-8 wks for pharmacologic tx.<br><br>

Before abandoning effective antimuscarinic tx: manage constipation, dry mouth, including bowel and fluid mgmt, dose modification or alternative antimuscarinic.
