Clinical and urodynamic effects of propiverine in patients suffering from urgency and urge incontinence. A multicentre dose-optimizing study.

The efficacy and tolerability of propiverine hydrochloride (15, off 45, 60 mg/d) were evaluated in the treatment of 185 patients suffering from urgency/urge incontinence in an open, randomized, multicentre parallel-group trial lasting 21 days. The effects on bladder volume and pressure were assessed on the basis of urodynamics and micturition frequency. Subjective adverse reactions were recorded.

[Clinical and urodynamic effects of oral propiverine therapy in neurogenic urinary incontinence. A multicenter study for optimizing dosage].

The efficacy and tolerability of propiverine hydrochloride (in doses of 15, 30, 45 and 60 mg/day) were evaluated in the treatment of 66 patients suffering from neurogenic incontinence for 21 days in an open, randomized, multicentre, parallel-group trial. Evaluation of efficacy was based on changes in cystometry, flow measurements and micturition and that of safety on adverse reactions and blood chemistry. The bladder volume increased and bladder pressure decreased dose dependently; the ratio of the two increased by 0.
