Types of Oral Medications:

1. Anticholinergics:
   These medications work by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates bladder muscle contractions. By inhibiting acetylcholine, anticholinergics help reduce the frequency and urgency of urination. Common anticholinergic medications include:

1. • Oxybutynin: Reduces bladder contractions and improves control over urination.
   • Tolterodine: Helps manage symptoms by decreasing the urge and frequency of urination.
   • Solifenacin: Offers long-lasting relief from OAB symptoms by relaxing the bladder.

2. Beta-3 Agonists:
   Beta-3 agonists work by activating beta-3 adrenergic receptors in the bladder, which relaxes the bladder muscle and increases its capacity. This class of medications includes:

1. • Mirabegron: Helps increase bladder capacity and reduce symptoms of urgency and frequency.
