desfesoterodine

Desfesoterodine is a small molecule antimuscarinic agent used in the symptomatic treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence. It acts as a competitive antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, particularly those in the bladder, leading to relaxation of bladder smooth muscle and reduction of involuntary contractions. Desfesoterodine is the active metabolite of fesoterodine and also a known human metabolite of tolterodine. Its primary indication is for overactive bladder symptoms such as urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence[8][9][2]. The drug has been investigated for use via intravenous administration[3].
