Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:Overactive bladder affects a significant portion of the population and results in prescribing of numerous medications for its treatment. Traditional drug delivery systems used in therapy are associated with multiple commonly reported side effects. Adherence rates with use of these medications are low. It is likely that low adherence rates with the use of these drugs are due in some part to drug side effects. It is therefore important that alternate methods for drug delivery be explored to reduce side effect profiles and improve patient compliance. AREAS COVERED:This article addresses the various forms of drug delivery for overactive bladder medications, focusing on those currently in use. Newer systems of drug delivery are also discussed. Through thorough review of research data, randomized trials and meta analyses, drug delivery systems were evaluated. EXPERT OPINION:EXPERT OPINION favors the use of the transdermal patch and recognizes the necessity for further research and development of other delivery methods. The patch delivery method offers the most effective means of treating symptoms and minimizing drug related adverse side effects leading to treatment discontinuation. Development of OAB medications aimed at alternate receptor targets has the potential to facilitate the creation of new treatment methods to compete with the current standard of care used in OAB treatment.
