Persistence with prescribed antimuscarinic therapy for overactive bladder: a UK experience

• Twelve months after the initial prescription, persistence rates with pharmacotherapy in the context of OAB are generally low. • Solifenacin was associated with higher levels of persistence compared with other prescribed antimuscarinic agents. • Older people are more likely than younger patients to persist with prescribed therapy. Further studies are required to understand this finding and why patients are more likely to persist with one drug rather than another.
