"The sudden urge to urinate and the uncontrolled feeling of having to go frequently describes the life of an individual with an overactive bladder. As many as 30 percent of men and 40 percent of women in the United States live with an overactive bladder.1 Many people feel embarrassed, don’t ask for help, don't know how to talk with their health care provider about their symptoms, or think there are not treatments that can help. Symptoms can severely impact the physical and social life of an individual with an overactive bladder. In this article, we will explore the disease state and investigate the role of novel vibegron and of a combination of mirabegron/ solifenacin in patients with overactive bladder."
