How do medications for an overactive bladder work?
Overactive bladder medications work by blocking chemical transmitters that target the nerves surrounding the bladder. By blocking these chemical transmitters, this means that the bladder muscles can remain relaxed, thereby reducing the urge to go the bathroom. With the bladder muscles relaxed, common symptoms of an overactive bladder, such as urgencyUrgency The sudden and compelling need to urinate which is difficult to defer., can be reduced. Your doctor may use one treatment alone or one in combination with other overactive bladder treatments.
