An overactive bladder (needing to urinate frequently) is a common condition, with studies indicating that up to 17% of the population may suffer from it.
When used in the treatment of OAB, BOTOX® works by helping to relax the bladder muscle, which minimises sudden contractions and reduces leakage. It also targets the nerves controlling the sensation of urgency, which is one of the most bothersome symptoms of OAB. Every 6 months, a doctor injects Botox into 20 different points on the bladder using a cytoscope.
