propiverine

Propiverine is a small molecule antimuscarinic and calcium channel antagonist used primarily to treat symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), including urinary urgency, frequency, and incontinence. It acts as a detrusor muscle relaxant by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder and modulating calcium influx into smooth muscle cells. This dual mechanism reduces involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle and increases bladder capacity. Propiverine is available as tablets and prolonged-release capsules for oral administration[2][3][5][6][8]. The drug was originally developed by Apogepha.
