Core Tip |
Overactive bladder (OAB) remains a highly prevalent and frequently, a recalcitrant constellation of symptoms. For patients who are refractory to oral medical therapy, there is sufficient level I evidence to support the use of onabotulinum toxin A injection therapy. It is a safe and very effective 2nd line treatment for OAB, even in the elderly population. The suggested Food and Drug Administration approved dose is 100 U to maximize the benefits and minimize the adverse effects of this therapy. Risks of the intradetrusor injection of onabotulinum toxin A include urinary tract infection, increased post void residual, urinary retention which may lead to necessity of self catherization for a period of time.
