Research Notes on Overactive Bladder Medications
Medications prescribed to treat an overactive bladder help to relax the bladder. By doing so, these medications help to reduce the symptoms of overactive bladder. Anticholinergic drugs work by reducing bladder muscle contractions.1 These drugs block nerve signals that may trigger an urge to release urine at the wrong time.2
Fast Facts:
- Possible side effects of using medications for an overactive bladder include dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision.2
- Estrogen is sometimes prescribed for women who are postmenopausal and experiencing an overactive bladder.1
