Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition characterized by urgency with or without urgency incontinence (UI), usually with increased daytime frequency and nocturia, which affects even 8-14% of adult population. The gold standards of OAB treatment are antimuscarinics, although this clinical entity is often poorly controlled with these agents. Thus, a progress in OAB pharmacotherapy is expected and takes place. The purpose of this article is to short review the present management of the overactive bladder with paying special attention on development of new drugs indicated for OAB treatment.
