Disturbances of the bladder-urethra function may lead either to frequency, urinary incontinence, or urinary retention. A survey is given on the drugs most frequently used in the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction. Special attention is drawn to the use of parasympatholytics in the treatment of hyperactive detrusor function (unstable bladder), sympathomimetics in the treatment of decreased urethral resistance, parasympathomimetics in the treatment of hypoactive detrusor function and alpha-adrenergic blocking agents in the treatment of increased urethral resistance.
