Overactive Bladder | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2019

Overactive bladder is a common condition that manifests as a complex set of symptoms in the lower urinary tract and affects both men and women. It is characterized by sudden urges to urinate and may be accompanied by urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, and/or nocturia (nighttime waking to void the bladder). In addition to possible lifestyle changes and/or behavior interventions to help manage overactive bladder, a step-up approach to treatment is generally followed. It typically begins with antimuscarinics, before progressing to more-potent drugs, such as the beta3 adrenergic receptor agonist Myrbetriq (Astellas) or the injectable neurotoxin Botox (Allergan).
