title: [Treatment of urinary urgency symptoms in the female with the beta-2-sympathomimetic clenbuterol].
abstract: Aside from parasympatheticolytis, calcium antagonists, musculotropic relaxants and tricyclic antidepressants, beta 2-sympatheticomimetics are also used in the treatment of urgency. The beta 2-sympatheticomimetic Clenbuterol, which has relatively slight cardiological side effects, was administered per os to 30 women. Prior to and six weeks after the commencement of daily medication with 2 x 20 micrograms of Clenbuterol, the therapeutic effect of the drug was tested by means of a urogynecological examination (history, gynecological findings, cystometrography, urethrocystometrography, uroflowmetry and pretherapeutic urethrocystometrography). An improvement rate of 65% was found. The parameters of urethrocystometrography and uroflowmetry were not altered under medication with Clenbuterol. Cystometrographic parameters, on the other hand, improved (minimal desire to urinate, maximal desire to urinate, compliance). The results of this study are discussed with reference to the literature. For the beta 2-sympatheticomimetic Clenbuterol, a good level of efficacy can be established in women patients on whom parasympatheticolytics alone failed to have a satisfactory effect.
