Doctors can establish a trusting relationship with their patients when they are willing to listen to their patients and have open communication.
Ever wondered if your medication might be causing some unexpected issues? In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds tackles a lesser-known side effect of Suboxone, a medication commonly used to treat opioid addiction. While many doctors might not be familiar with it, some patients experience urinary hesitancy due to Suboxone. Dr. Leeds explains that opioids, in general, can cause this issue, but it's often overlooked as a side effect of Suboxone.
He emphasizes the need for doctors to ask their patients about all potential side effects to get a complete picture of their experiences. Dr. Leeds also introduces bethanechol, a medication that can help alleviate opioid-induced urinary hesitancy, although it may come with its own set of side effects. Throughout the episode, he underscores the importance of building trust between doctors and patients and listening carefully to their concerns.
Treating addiction is a complex process, and being vigilant about side effects is crucial for supporting patients on their recovery journey. If you or someone you know is taking Suboxone and struggling with urinary hesitancy, it's essential to speak with a doctor and explore all available treatment options. Tune in to this episode to learn more about this surprising side effect and how it can impact patients.
