Urinary antispasmodics are a therapeutic class of medications primarily designed to suppress involuntary bladder contractions and reduce urinary tract spasms Most agents in this class function as competitive muscarinic receptor antagonists—often paired with direct smooth-muscle relaxant properties—to block acetylcholine-mediated stimulation of the detrusor muscle, thereby increasing bladder capacity and delaying the urge to void

Most agents in this class function as competitive muscarinic receptor antagonists—often paired with direct smooth-muscle relaxant properties—to block acetylcholine-mediated stimulation of the detrusor muscle, thereby increasing bladder capacity and delaying the urge to void Clinically, these agents are predominantly indicated for the management of overactive bladder characterized by urinary urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence, as well as neurogenic detrusor overactivity associated with con...
