What is Overactive Bladder (OAB)?

Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a common medical condition, one that may cause:

  • urge urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control)
  • frequent urination
  • strong sudden urges to urinate

If you've been coping with OAB symptoms like urge urinary incontinence, you may think it's just a sign of getting older. Something you just have to accept or adapt to. But the truth is OAB can occur as early as your 20s and 30s. And the symptoms are treatable.

In fact, SANCTURA XR® (trospium chloride extended release capsules) can reduce OAB symptoms in as little as one week — with a low occurrence of side effects. That may mean more uninterrupted time for you to do the things you love. Like going shopping. Or having dinner with friends — without constant worry over when the next urge to go will come.

Talk to your doctor about getting relief from your OAB symptoms with SANCTURA XR®.

What happens with OAB?

Think of your bladder like a balloon that expands as it fills with urine. When your bladder is almost full, it sends messages to your brain, saying it may be time to relieve yourself. Normally, your brain can override those signals until you're in a place where you can go to the bathroom.

With OAB, your bladder muscle contracts involuntarily. Not just when your bladder is full. And your brain isn't able to control it. The result is a strong sudden urge to urinate and, in some cases, an unexpected loss of urine.

Find out how SANCTURA XR® capsules may help reduce your OAB symptoms in as little as one week.
