Overactive bladder refers to a condition where there is a sudden urge to urinate that is hard to control, and this medication helps alleviate these symptoms, improving the quality of life for patients. Urgency urinary incontinence is a symptom where urine leaks out due to a sudden urge, while frequency refers to the increased number of times urination occurs in a day. Additionally, urgency refers to the feeling of needing to rush to the bathroom immediately. This medication relaxes the bladder muscles to manage these symptoms.
