How does it work?
Its action improves the ability of the patient to control urination by relaxing the muscles in the bladder. It also reduces leaking of urine, urges to urinate urgently and reduces the frequency of trips to the washroom. To elaborate, it works as a competitive cholinergic receptor antagonist, selective for the M3 receptor subtype. When acetylcholine binds to these receptors, particularly M3, it makes contraction of smooth muscle possible. This medicine prevents the binding of acetylcholine to these receptors, thus reducing the smooth muscle tone in the bladder. The overall effects of the activity increase the bladder’s ability to retain larger volumes of urine and reducing the number of micturition, urgency and incontinence episodes.
