Fesoterodine (INN, used as the fumarate under the brand name Toviaz) is an antimuscarinic drug developed by Schwarz Pharma AG to treat overactive bladder syndrome (OAB).
[2] It was approved by the European Medicines Agency in April 2007,[3] the US Food and Drug Administration on October 31, 2008 [4] and Health Canada on February 9, 2012.
Fesoterodine has the advantage of allowing more flexible dosage than other muscarinic antagonists.
[6] Its tolerability and side effects are similar to other muscarinic antagonists and as a new drug seems unlikely to make great changes in practices of treatment for overactive bladder.
Overactive bladder was found to be resolved in 88% of patients after seven days usage.
