Muscarinic Antagonists

Muscarinic antagonists are used to treat overactive bladder and cystitis. They work by relaxing bladder muscles.

Why are muscarinic antagonists prescribed?

  1. Overactive Bladder (99%)
  2. Cystitis (1%)

Key takeaways

Muscarinic antagonists are used to treat overactive bladder, urinary incontinence, and bladder spasms. These medications work by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a chemical that causes muscles to contract, which helps to relax the bladder muscles and reduce urinary urgency and frequency. Muscarinic antagonists come in different forms, including oral pills and extended-release tablets. Examples include oxybutynin, tolterodine (Detrol), and solifenacin (Vesicare). You can choose the form that best fits your needs.
