Overactive Bladder Syndrome
: ICS Definition
• Urgency, with or without urge incontinence,
usually with frequency and nocturia
– Absence of pathologic or metabolic conditions
that might explain these symptoms
• Urgency - Sudden, compelling desire to pass
urine that is difficult to defer
Abrams P et al. Urology. 2003;61:37-49.

OAB Initiating Treatment
• If there is no significant abnormality of
physical exam, urine analysis and PVR,
treatment for OAB can be initiated without
further workup
• In some cases where abnormalities are found,
treatment can be initiated, but abnormality
must be worked up (e.g. hematuria)
– UDS in select patients

What’s The Difference??
• Efficacy
– No great differences
– Dose dependent
• Tolerability
• Safety
• Clinical Effectiveness – different for
different patients depending on
expectations
Differences Among Anticholinergics
• Metabolism
– Hepatic
– Renal
• Pharmacokinetics
Produce a number of
– Delivery system
clinically measurable
and theoretical
– Bioavailability
differences
• Receptor selectivity
• Chemical structure
– Permeability
• Dose titration
– 50-60% of patients will choose higher dose
Why is Efficacy So Hard to Measure
in the OAB Population
• Different patients have different:
– Primary bother symptoms
– Expectations from treatment
• Different studies have different populations

Urgency: Defining Symptom of OAB
• How is it measured?
– Yes/no
– Degree
• VAS, IUSS, UPS
– Warning time
– OAB voids
• Recent studies have shown positive effects on
antimuscarinics on urgency
– Darifenicin and solifenicin using yes/no scales
– Tolterodine and trospium using fixed scales
– Darifenicin using a VAS

Individual Agents
Advantages and Drawbacks
Oxybutynin - ER
• Advantages
– Widest range of dose titration
– Only compound approved for “high dose”
administration
• Drawbacks
– Effects on cognitive function
Tolterodine
• Advantages
– Long safety record
– Number 1 prescribed drug
– New CNS data favorable
– Data on male OAB
• Drawbacks:
– Lack of titration
– Mild increase in QT interval at super therapeutic
doses
Trospium
• Advantages
– No hepatic
metabolism
• Less drug-drug
interactions
– Less crossing of
blood-brain barrier
• ? Clinical
correlation at this
time
– Higher urine
concentration
• ? Clinical meaning
• Drawbacks
BID dosing
No dose titration
Slight increase
in heart rate
Solifenicin
• Advantages
– Dose titration
– Relatively low dry mouth incidence
• Drawbacks
– Mild increase in QT interval at super therapeutic
doses
Antimuscarinics Summary
• Efficacy among antimuscarinic agents is similar
• There are several different advantages (some
theoretical) which may influence drug choice in a
particular patient
• Expect in cases of high dose antimuscarinics,
decisions are more likely to revolve around
tolerability and safety (or perceived safety)
Male LUTS Can Be Associated With
the Bladder, the Prostate, or Both
Bladder Condition:
OAB
Urgency, with or without
urgency incontinence,
usually with frequency
and nocturia
Pharmacologic Therapy
for OAB:
Antimuscarinics
BPH = benign prostatic hyperplasia;
OAB = overactive bladder;
5-ARI = 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor.
Prostate Condition:
BPH
Term used and reserved
for the typical histological
pattern that defines
the disease
Pharmacologic Therapy
for BPH:
alpha-Blockers
5-ARIs
Abrams P et al. Urology. 2003;61:37-49.
Timing of combination treatment
• Primary vs. Add-on
: Many patients with BPH and OAB have benefit
from alpha blocker only
: Initially treated with an alpha blocker
: Anticholinergics is added in patients who report
partial response to the alpha blocker but still
have persistent OAB symptoms
In Men With OAB, Treatment With
Tolterodine Was Not Associated
With Increased Incidence of AUR

Reported urinary AEs
Kaplan SA et al. JAMA. 2006;296:2319-2328.
Concerns about the risk of AUR
• Several recent clinical trials have refuted
• But, given the exclusion criteria should be
considered
• Exclusion criteria for PVR in clinical trials
- greater than 30-40% of maximum capacity
- or 50-200ml
Concerns about the risk of AUR
• Post-void residual volume should be
measured to exclude baseline urinary
retention
• The safety in patients with baseline urinary
retention is not known
Recommendation
Low PVR: <40% of functional capacity
Jaffe WI, Te AE, Current Urology Reports 2005
Summary: OAB in Men
• Available data suggests that antimuscarinics
are safe in men with OAB + BOO, but PVR
should be considered
• Optimal way to use + alpha blockers needs
to be sorted out
• It should be evaluated which patient benefit
from adding of antimuscarinics initially in
real life practice
