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

Frequently Asked Questions

Oral medications for overactive bladder are drugs taken by mouth that help manage symptoms such as urgency, frequency, and incontinence. They include anticholinergics and beta-3 agonists, each working through different mechanisms to improve bladder control.

Anticholinergics work by blocking acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates bladder muscle contractions. By reducing the effects of acetylcholine, these medications help decrease the frequency and urgency of urination.

Common side effects of oral medications for OAB can include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and dizziness. Beta-3 agonists may also cause high blood pressure in some individuals. It is important to discuss potential side effects with your urologist to manage them effectively.

The time to see results can vary depending on the medication and individual response. Some patients may experience symptom relief within a few weeks, while others may need a longer period. Your urologist will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as needed.
