Abstract

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common and bothersome condition manifested by urgency, frequent urination, significantly impairing patients quality of life. The article presents an overview of the evidence on pharmacotherapy of neurogenic and idiopathic OAB. Selective M3 receptor blockers have been shown to be the medications of choice in treating these patients. Many studies have shown that solifenacin 10 mg is a starting dose for patients with OAB. Mirabegron (Betmiga) is the only 3-adrenergic receptor agonist approved for primary treatment of OAB patients refractory to anticholinergics or have their side effects. It seems promising to use this drug, both as monotherapy and concurrently with anticholinergic agents to improve treatment results in patients with idiopathic and neurogenic OAB.
