There are three main types of urinary incontinence: nocturnal enuresis (or bed-wetting); stress incontinence which is leakage during physical activity; and urge incontinence, where urine escapes from the bladder soon after the urge to pass urine develops.
Urinary incontinence, occurring at least weekly, affects 1 in 21 primary school children and 1 in 13 adults. It is more common in women and in older people.

Anticholinergic drugs for overactive bladder

Australian Prescriber

| Description: |
Anticholinergic drugs are first-line pharmacotherapy for overactive bladder syndrome. They block muscarinic receptors at the detrusor muscle, thus reducing bladder contractility. As no anticholinergic drugs are totally selective for the detrusor, adverse effects from muscarinic receptor blockade at other sites are common.
