Q

What are the most commonly prescribed drugs for urinary incontinence?

A

Antimuscarinic Drugs

• Tolterodine and Oxybutynin

17
Q

What is the 1st line of care in people with urinary incontinence?

A

Behavioral Therapy, Pt. education, fluid management, bladder retraining, Pelvic floor exercises

Bottom line is there is a lot you want to do before starting someone on drugs because of side effects

18
Q
Where do the following drugs act: 
• Darifenacin
• Oxybutynin
• Trospium 
• Tolterodine 
  • what receptor do they act on?
    • Key feature of each?
A

Non-Selective Muscarinic Antagonists

Once daily Dosing:
• Darifenacin
• Oxybutyrin

Neglible CYP metabolism:
• Trospium

Extended release Availability:
• Tolterodine
• Oxybutyrin

19
Q

What is the point of giving muscarinic drugs that are extendend release?
• which two have this availability?

A

Extended Release:
• Tolterodine
• Oxybutyrin

Reduces the MAJOR MUSCARINIC ANTAGONIST side effect of DRY MOUTH

20
Q

What is the most common reason for people to stop using Muscarinic Receptor Therapy?
• Name the drugs used in this therapy?

A

DRY MOUTH

Drugs: 
• Darifenacin
• Trospium
• Oxybutynin
• Tolterodine
21
Q

What adverse effects should you monitor in someone taking muscarinic antagonists?
• Name Them.

A
  • Urinary Retention
  • CV effects - may include palpitations, tachycardia, prolonged QT interval
  • GI effects - Mild constipation to severe obstruction
Drugs: 
• Darifenacin
• Trospium
• Oxybutynin
• Tolterodine
22
Q

In what patients should you Monitor Urinary Retention especially closely in?

A

• People with BPH

Drugs:
• Darifenacin
• Trospium
• Oxybutynin 
• Tolterodine
23
Q

What are the contraindications for Muscarinic Antagonist use?

A
  • Angle Closure / Narrow Angle Glaucoma
  • Urinary and Gastric Obstruction
  • Need for mental alertness
  • Alzheimer’s type Dementia
24
Q

Why might someone want to use Botox to treat Urinary incontinence?
• who is it most effective in?

A
  • Benefit is long lasting, lasts for several months

* Botox - most effective in patients who responded to anticholinergics but couldn’t tolerate the adverse effects

25
Q

Botox

• MOA

A
  • Inhibits Afferent Cholinergic Impulses by inhibiting SNARE-complex-dependent proteins
  • Phenotypic change in SUBurothelial tissue to ablate the excitatory effect of local chemical mediators
26
Q

Where do the following drugs act?
• Mirabegron
• Pseudoephedrine
• Ephedra, Ma Huang

*how does mirabegron differ from the others?

A

These drugs agonize ß3 and alpha 1 receptors to relax bladder and contract internal urethral sphincter respectively

How is Mirabegron different?
• long acting drug that undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism
• others are minimally broken down and are shorter acting

27
Q

What is a common side effect to all of the sympathomimetic drugs used in urinary incontinence?
• name the drugs.

A

Drugs:
• Mirabegron
• Ephedra
• Pseudoephedra

Side Effect: 
SYMPATHETIC STIMULATION
• HTN
• Tachycardia-Tachyarrythmia 
• Anxiety - Restlessness - nervousness - insomnia
