would this medicine cause severe side effects on a diabetic person. Does it help with female organs in flammation. ## Hello, Carm! How are you?

This medicine is so expensive, and for 1 month I have used and it is very effective. No side effects. Iis there an alternative? ## Hello, Marci! How are you? I'm sorry about the expense.

Is there anything else I can help with?

And yes, it is known to cause blurry or double vision as a side effect. You may also experience: nausea, dizziness, headache and constipation. When I was on another medication that caused frequent urination and the doctor gave me Detrol to use, which is another brand name for this, the blurry vision was so severe that I had to stop taking it and refused to ever use it, again. Learn more: Are there any other comments or questions?
