R-PROCYCLIDINE FOR TREATING URINARY INCONTINENCE

摘要

A method for treating urinary incontinence, such as incontinence resulting from bladder detrusor muscle instability, using enantiomerically enriched (R)-procyclidine. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of enantiomerically enriched (R)-procyclidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, substantially free of the (S)-procyclidine enantiomer. Pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of urinary incontinence comprising enantiomerically enriched (R)-procyclidine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an acceptable carrier are also disclosed.
