Darifenacin

Darifenacin (trade name Enablex in United States and Canada, Emselex in the European Union) is a medication used to treat urinary incontinence due to an overactive bladder.

[4] Darifenacin is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency in adults.

It may also be recommended with an alpha blocker to help provide symptomatic benefit for overactive bladder and obstructive symptoms such as those likely associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

[5] Darifenacin works by blocking the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, which is primarily responsible for bladder muscle contractions.

[6] It is not known whether this selectivity for the M3 receptor translates into any clinical advantage when treating symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome.
