Drugs sold 'over the counter' (OTC) may contain any amount of these products, causing incontinence as a side effect of the original problem for which the item was purchased. For example, medications purchased for a mild cold often include antihistamines and decongestants. In addition, caffeine may be included in some medications, e.g. over the counter analgesics purchased for a headache.
Please visit this Mayo Clinic site, and look for the section on medications which can affect continence.
Look for the answer to this question: Why does caffeine affect urinary incontinence?
