Managing the ‘Urgency’ of an Overactive Bladder

Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined as a syndrome of urinary urgency usually accompanied by increased
daytime urinary frequency and nocturia in the absence of infection and localised pathological causal factors with or without urinary incontinence (UI). Clinical trial results have demonstrated that
mirabegron, a selective β3-adrenoceptor agonist, offers substantial clinical efficacy and good
adherence rates over 12 months for managing the symptoms associated with overactive bladder.

Overactive bladder (OAB) has been defined as urinary frequency and nocturia (night-time voiding more than once per night) in the setting of urgency (a sudden, compelling desire to void that is difficult to defer) and in the absence of pathological or metabolic conditions that may explain the symptoms. Female urinary incontinence is a common problem with an estimated prevalence of 25%. Quality of life is significantly impacted by urinary incontinence, often leading to embarrassment and social isolation.
