There's one in Pandan Indah. That's what I've been doing for my grandma's medication. She on diabetes btw. Hope you get well soon :) <strong>Peter: I get my supply of medicine from UMMC where I also go for regular check-ups. I go to SJMC for problems that may need several weeks or months of prior appointment before I am seen by a doctor at UMMC.</strong> If you plan to source the medicines from external pharmacies and not from SJMC itself (as it can sometimes be more costly to buy from the hospital directly), you can try getting the quote for your medicine from MyPharmacy.

When I started on Detrusitol, I was taking 1mg twice daily - half of the 2mg tablet twice. Then the urologist decided that I needed 2mg when my serum creatinine went up to 286umol/L from 188umol/L. I like the 4mg SR because I need to take it once a day only and there is no need to take it on an empty stomach. Instead of taking it at night as directed, I am taking it first thing in the morning where the problem with urine retention is resolved with regular catheterisation. I will be monitoring its effects to see if I have urine retention at night too.</strong> the dose for detrusitol varies from1mg bd to 2mg bd.or 4mg sr.for your case if you got urine retention which was the side effect of the med, is betterfor you to take 2mg bd
