Cervicitis (cont.)

Follow-up

Do not have sexual intercourse until your treatment is completed and your symptoms have gone away—for at least 7 days.

  • In some cases, a single dosage of medication, which could include an injection, has been shown to wipe out the disease. In other cases, your doctor may prescribe a longer period of medication.

  • If your infection stems from a sexually transmitted disease, your sexual partner also should be treated. Do not have sexual relations until your partner is treated. Once you have been treated, follow up with your doctor for 3 months with regular exams.

  • Cervicitis, if found in a young person or a child, may indicate child sexual abuse.

ENABLEX is a prescription medicine used in adults to treat the following symptoms due to a condition called overactive bladder:

  • · having a strong need to go to the bathroom right away (also called "urgency")
  • · leaks or wetting accidents (also called "urinary incontinence")
  • · having to go to the bathroom too often (also called "urinary frequency")

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

You should not take once-daily ENABLEX if you have certain types of stomach problems, glaucoma, or have trouble emptying your bladder. Side effects of ENABLEX include blurred vision, and more commonly dry mouth, constipation, indigestion, and abdominal pain. Use caution when doing certain activities until you know how ENABLEX affects you.
