METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING URINARY INCONTINENCE USING ENANTIOMERICALLY ENRICHED (S,S)-GLYCOPYRROLATE

摘要

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