Before taking COBENFY, what should I discuss with my healthcare provider about pregnancy and breastfeeding?

You are at a higher chance of developing urinary retention if you:

  • are elderly (65 years or older)
  • have a blockage in your bladder
  • have a prostate that is bigger than it should be (benign prostatic hyperplasia)
  • have problems emptying your bladder because of diabetes
