| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To depict the recent advances in the field of pharmacological treatment of idiopathic overactive bladder (iOAB). METHODS: A literature search was conducted, using the PubMed/Medline database. Articles were included if published as full papers, after 2008 and before September 2012, and focused on recent pharmacologic treatment options for iOAB management. Publications having the highest level of evidence have been analyzed to summarize the available evidence, prioritizing the treatments available in France. RESULTS: Some meta-analyses have been published between 2008 and 2012, gathering information about 82 level 1 evidence studies about efficacy and safety of anticholinergics. According to the most recent meta-analysis, anticholinergics have proved their efficacy for iOAB management, reducing the number of micturitions per day by up to 1.59, the number of incontinence episodes per day by up to 0.7, the number of urgency episodes by up to 1.7, the number of urgency incontinence episodes by up to 2.25, and the number of nocturnal voids by up to 0.24. Safety profile was good, especially for solifenacin and fesoterodine, supported by strong scientific evidence. However, data were limited to short-term follow-up, with no anticholinergic drug superior to another. Few data were available about observance, risk factors for failure and results in specific populations. Anticholinergics can be used safely for management of lower urinary tract symptoms in men, but their role is still to be determined. Data about innovative drugs were still preliminary. CONCLUSIONS: Anticholinergics are a valuable option for management of iOAB, and have a growing role in management of lower urinary tract symptoms in men without bladder outlet obstruction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
