Fesoterodine (INN, used as the fumarate under the brand name Toviaz) is an antimuscarinic drug developed by Schwarz Pharma AG to treat overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). [2] It was approved by the European Medicines Agency in April 2007, [3] the US Food and Drug Administration on October 31, 2008 [4] and Health Canada on February 9, 2012. [5]

Fesoterodine is a prodrug. It is broken down into its active metabolite, desfesoterodine, by plasma esterases.

Efficacy

Fesoterodine has the advantage of allowing more flexible dosage than other muscarinic antagonists. [6] Its tolerability and side effects are similar to other muscarinic antagonists and as a new drug seems unlikely to make great changes in practices of treatment for overactive bladder. [6]

A Japanese study from 2017, showed that urgency and urge incontinence are improved after 3 days administration of the drug, with full efficacy able to be judged after 7 days administration. Overactive bladder was found to be resolved in 88% of patients after seven days usage. [7]
