TREATMENT OF URINE INCONTINENCE BY MAKING USE OF (S)-OXYBUTYNINE AND (S)-DESETHYLOXYBUTYNINE

摘要

A method for treating urinary incontinence while avoiding concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with racemic oxybutynin is disclosed. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of (S)-oxybutynin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its R enantiomer. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising (S)-oxybutynin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of its R enantiomer, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are also disclosed.
