Introduction
Fesoterodine, sold under the trade name Toviaz, is an antimuscarinic medication designed to treat overactive bladder (OAB). By relaxing the bladder muscles, Fesoterodine helps reduce urinary urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence, enhancing bladder control and quality of life.
Purpose
- Treats symptoms of overactive bladder, including frequent urination, urgency, and urge incontinence.
- Increases bladder capacity and reduces bladder spasms.
How It Works
Fesoterodine blocks muscarinic receptors in the bladder, reducing involuntary muscle contractions and improving the bladder’s ability to store urine.
Usage
- Taken as an extended-release tablet, typically once daily, with or without food.
- Consistent use is recommended for optimal symptom relief, with effects noticeable within a few weeks.
Considerations
- Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and drowsiness.
- Use caution in patients with urinary retention, narrow-angle glaucoma, or gastrointestinal obstruction.
- Dosage adjustments may be required for patients with kidney or liver impairment.
