Proin is used for incontinence and is very effective. Don't be concerned about the meth comments, it's just that this medication is "controlled" and if it was sold in a pharmacy you'd have to ask the pharmacist for it - it wouldn't be on a shelf. Our (as prescribers not you as end users) purchases are monitored and we need to document uses and patients.
