Antimuscarinics for Bladder Control: Adherence Challenges in Everyday Practice

Antimuscarinic medications are commonly prescribed for overactive bladder, but their effectiveness is often hampered by poor adherence. This systematic review examines long-term adherence to antimuscarinic therapy in everyday clinical practice, exploring factors that contribute to poor adherence and persistence with these medications. The authors identified various factors, including side effects, complexity of treatment regimens, and individual patient characteristics, as potential contributors to non-adherence.

The review highlights the complex factors that influence adherence to antimuscarinic therapy, emphasizing the need for a multifaceted approach to address these challenges. Understanding the barriers to adherence can help healthcare professionals tailor treatment strategies and provide effective support to improve patient outcomes. The review also emphasizes the need for patient education and individualized treatment plans to address specific concerns and enhance adherence.
