Which type of medication may be used in the treatment of a
patient with incontinence to inhibit contraction of the bladder?
a) Anticholinergic agent
Anticholinergic agents are considered first-line medications for urge
incontinence.
b) Estrogen hormone
Estrogen decreases obstruction to urine flow by restoring the mucosal,
vascular, and muscular integrity of the urethra.
c) Tricyclic antidepressants
Tricyclic antidepressants decrease bladder contractions as well as
increase bladder neck resistance.
d) Over-the-counter decongestant
Stress incontinence may be treated using pseudoephedrine and
phenylpropanolamine, ingredients found in over-the-counter
decongestants.
