Propiverine is used to treat symptoms of overactive bladder, including urge incontinence (sudden urge to urinate with involuntary leakage), increased urinary frequency, and nocturia (frequent nighttime urination). It may be prescribed when these symptoms significantly impact quality of life.
Propiverine works by blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the smooth muscle of the bladder. This reduces involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle, increasing bladder capacity and reducing the urgent need to urinate.
Propiverine may cause side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, and dizziness. It should be used with caution in patients with glaucoma, urinary retention, or severe liver/kidney problems. Alcohol may enhance drowsiness. Patients should inform their doctor of all medications and health conditions before starting treatment.
