Anticholinergic agents such as oxybutynin, oxytrol, tolterodine, and solifenacin succinate are often used to inhibit detrusor muscle contraction.
Treatment for OAB currently consists of oral administration of compounds such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, darifenacin, solifenacin, and trospium each of which have significant side effects, including dry mouth (seen in 70% of patients), nausea, dry eyes, and constipation.
