I don't see why not, if that's what you think you need. What's the worst that can happen? Its still such a low dose.

Yep.   If symptoms niggle 4 me I do 3/4 nights to ease the feelings as well as taking 'nurofen' 3 times a day to ease the feeling of needing to pee.  Some ladies use 'yes' and 'sylc' products too, have a look at the web-sites to see if that would help.

I use it alternate nights as prescribed by my gp.  When I was having bad symptoms over a year ago my gp prescribed it every day for a month.  Then dropped to alternate.  I don't intend to reduce it as I don't want that horrible wee feeling back!

What about the leaflet in the box  :-\ - also instructions should be printed on the patient label on the side and signed by who ever handed it out.

Glad that it's sorted.  There should have been a label inside the box or instructions on the outer ..........  ::)
