Information

Fesoterodine is an antimuscarinic agent used for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. It is an approved oral medication active as a prodrug, rapidly converted to its active metabolite 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT).

Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetic parameters of fesoterodine (as its active metabolite 5-HMT) were characterized in healthy adult subjects (male and female, age 18-55) after administration of the recommended 8 mg oral dose in the fasted state.
