title: [Spasmex treatment of patients with hyperactive urinary bladder].
abstract: Overactive urinary bladder (HAUB) is encountered in 16-20% patients with various voiding disorders. Etiologically, detrusor hyperactivity can be neurogenic and idiopathic. We studied efficacy of the antimuscarine drug spasmex in patients with imperative voiding disorders and compared its efficacy and tolerance with those of driptan and detrusitol. 193 female patients with imperative voiding disorders were examined. Spasmex given in a dose of 5 mg 3 times a day for 12 weeks produced a good effect in 56 patients: increased the effective capacity of the urinary bladder, reduced the number of voidings and episodes of incontinence for a day. A 3-month course of spasmex proved highly effective as shown by the patients' subjective response and positive changes in objective evidence. Being equally effective with detrusitol and driptan, spasmex is much superior to oxibutynin in safety.
