What Is SANCTURA XR®?

Overactive Bladder (OAB) medicine that provides relief of OAB symptoms.

What if you could spend less time worrying about frequent urination or urge urinary incontinence and more time enjoying activities like going for a walk? Now it's possible with SANCTURA XR®.

SANCTURA XR® is a once-daily overactive bladder (OAB) treatment shown to start reducing the symptoms of OAB in as little as one week. These symptoms may include: a strong and immediate urge to urinate, a need to urinate frequently, leaking or wetting accidents.

In clinical trials, SANCTURA XR® capsules have been shown to:

  • reduce the number of bathroom visits in 5 to 7 days
  • reduce OAB accidents by up to 80% in just 3 months
  • decrease the strong urge to urinate as early as week 1

That may mean more freedom to enjoy your active life and less worry over embarrassing accidents. Why not ask your doctor if SANCTURA XR® may help relieve your OAB symptoms.

How does SANCTURA XR® work?

OAB symptoms occur when your bladder muscle contracts involuntarily. This tells the bladder to empty, which can cause an uncontrolled urge to urinate — even if your bladder's not full.

SANCTURA XR® capsules work by helping to relax the bladder muscle. Which means fewer urges for you and fewer trips to the bathroom.
