[Use of driptan (oxybutinin) in patients with urgent forms of urination disorders]

Imperative micturition occurs rather frequently. The data of different authors favour driptan (oxibutinin) in this condition. In the urological clinic of the Medical Institute oxibutinin hydrochloride was tried since 1991. A total of 354 patients were treated (328 females, 12 males and 14 adolescents). The indications to the treatment were the following: instability of the detrusor, urethra or both, isolated forms of pollakiuria, some forms of enuresis, irritation in benign prostatic hyperplasia, correction of detrusor instability in enuresis before operation. Oxibutinine hydrochloride produced positive results in various forms of imperative micturition with symptoms of urgent incontinence (urgent enuresis) or without them. The drug produced a response in many socially maladapted individuals considered incurable.
