Abstract
In patients with symptoms of hyperactive bladder, initial treatment is based on behavioral modification and drug therapy with anticholinergic agents. All the anticholinergic agents available have been shown to be effective in reducing the frequency of micturition, urgency and incontinence episodes. Prolonged release forms have produced better tolerance as they have fewer adverse effects, especially dry mouth, and improve patients' quality of life. When prescribing an anticholinergic agent, the lowest effective dose should initially be used and the choice of the type of drug should be based on optimal tolerance and treatment compliance.
