Item 1 of 5

[HOLLY]: These days, I’m all about taking in every moment.

[HOLLY]: We used to be worried about having to stop all the time.

[RODNEY]: Yeah.

[HOLLY]: I couldn’t focus on the end of the journey because I was always focused on the next pit stop.

[HOLLY]: I mean, it was all about planning.

[RODNEY]: Yeah. I was feeling that sense of urgency and wondering where your mind’s gonna go 30 minutes in, going “oh, I might have to go.”

[RODNEY]: Slowing down gives us the flexibility to do what we want without the symptoms getting in the way.

[HOLLY]: I just want to take my time. Just like that seagull right there. I just want to take my time.

[RODNEY]: Now, because of GEMTESA, I don’t have to plan around my OAB symptoms as much, and I can be present for the whole journey.

[HOLLY]: (MAJOR STATEMENT): GEMTESA is a prescription medicine used to treat the following symptoms due to a condition called Overactive Bladder (OAB). In adults and in adult males taking medicine for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): leakage episodes, urgency, and frequency. Do not take GEMTESA if you are allergic to vibegron or any other ingredients in GEMTESA. GEMTESA may cause serious side effects such as increasing your chances of not being able to empty your bladder and/or angioedema. Tell your doctor right away if you are not able to empty your bladder. Stop using GEMTESA and get emergency medical help right away if you have symptoms of angioedema or trouble breathing. My doctor told me that the most common side effects of GEMTESA include headache, urinary tract infection, nasal congestion, sore throat or runny nose, diarrhea, nausea and upper respiratory tract infection. These are not all the possible side effects of GEMTESA.

[HOLLY]: This treatment has helped us feel more connected in so many ways. Now, we can say “yes” to taking the longer route and slowing down, enjoying the moment.

[RODNEY]: Baby, look at this view! We should’ve done this a long time ago.

[HOLLY]: My favorite part of the day is enjoying the journey with my favorite person.

[HOLLY]: Could you stop changing the radio?
