What Are the Different Types of Overactive Bladder Medications?
Different types of overactive bladder medications have been used for many years to treat a condition of abnormal bladder contractions known as overactive bladder (OAB). The most common types of OAB medications include anticholinergics, but estrogen, tricyclic antidepressants, and desmopressin are also used. Botulinum toxin type A is a potential new addition to the arsenal of overactive bladder medications that may also prove helpful. One main side effect of most of these medications is dry mouth; each drug also has its own side effects.
