Fesoterodine, sold under the brand name Toviaz among others, is a medication used to treat the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB).[1][3] It is a second line medication for this use.[4] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include dry mouth and constipation.[1] Other side effects may include urinary retention, trouble sleeping, and dizziness.[1][4] It is not recommended in people with severe liver problems or myasthenia gravis.[3] It is an antimuscarinic and works via the same chemical as tolterodine.[1]

Fesoterodine was approved for medical use in Europe in 2007,[3] the United States in 2008,[1] and Canada in 2012.[5] In the United States it costs about 310 USD per month as of 2021.[6] This amount in the United Kingdom costs the NHS about £26.[4]

Medical uses

Fesoterodine has the advantage of allowing more flexible dosage than other muscarinic antagonists.[7] 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.[7]

A Japanese study from 2017, showed that urgency and urge incontinence are improved after 3 days administration of the drug, with full efficacy able to be judged after 7 days administration. Overactive bladder was found to be resolved in 88% of patients after seven days usage. [8]

Dosage

It is usually used at 4 to 8 mg once per day.[1]

Mechanism of action

Fesoterodine is a prodrug. It is broken down into its active metabolite, desfesoterodine, by plasma esterases.
