Overactive bladder (OAB) in adults Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in children ages 6 years and older – brand Fesoterodine only

Fesoterodine is an anticholinergic medication that blocks acetylcholine. This is a chemical in the body that affects different bodily functions, including telling the bladder muscles to tighten so you can urinate. By blocking acetylcholine, Fesoterodine relaxes the bladder muscles so you have better control over urination.

Fesoterodine is dosed as follows: Overactive bladder (adults): The typical starting dose is 4 mg by mouth once a day. Your provider might raise your dose to 8 mg once a day depending on how you respond to the medication. Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (children ages 6 years and older, weighing at least 25 kg): The typical dose is 4 mg by mouth once a day. If needed, your child’s provider might raise their dose to 8 mg once a day depending on how your child responds to the medication. Your dose might differ if you have kidney problems or if you’re taking certain medications that interact with Fesoterodine.
