Overactive bladder (OAB) is a therm used for a complex of symptoms – urgency, frequency and urge incontinence. There doesn´t have to be all three symptoms expresed in one patient at the same time. It is not mandatory to perform urodynamic study for the diagnosis of OAB. Prevalence of OAB is high in our population and is getting even higher in last years. This makes OAB not only medical, but also socioeconomic problem. Lot of attention is paid to this problem in last years between urologists as well as between pharmaceutical compenies. This article gives overview about contemporary pharmacotherapy of OAB.

Keywords: overactive bladder, muscarinic receptors
