Topical Oestrogens and Antimuscarinics In The Treatment Of Detrusor Overactivity
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Despite the great number of reports about the efficacy of oestrogens or antimuscarinics on OAB symptoms, so far no author has tried to investigate whether the concomitant administration of these two drugs, acting on two different pathophysiological mechanisms, could have a synergic effect reducing the rate of non-responders to treatment.
