Topical meds
UUI + Antichollinergic agent/antispamodics MOA
Antagonize muscarinic receptors
Decrease PS nerve impulses to detrusor
- Most effect for suppression of premature detrusor contraction, enhancing bladder storage and reliving symptoms
First line UUI treatment
oxybutynin or tolterodine
Oxybutynin IR
Ditropan
***Orthostatic hypoTN
Oxybutynin ER =
Ditropan XL
***Orthostatic hypoTN
