Activity Description
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a chronic condition characterized by urinary urgency that impacts up to 17% of the US population, with prevalence increasing with age. Since OAB has significant effects on clinical, economic, and quality of life outcomes, it is important for pharmacists—particularly those in the managed care setting—to understand best practices for treatment and individualized management. In this activity, expert faculty will review the safety and efficacy of available treatment options for OAB as well as current evidence, guidelines, and payer benefit management strategies to ensure appropriate access to and utilization of therapy. Insights on how to improve patient safety and clinical outcomes for patients with OAB will also be discussed.
Target Audience
This activity is designed specifically for pharmacists practicing in managed care settings.
LEARNING Objectives
Upon completion of this program, participants should be better able to:
- Evaluate the clinical and economic impact of OAB
- Analyze the safety and efficacy of available treatment options for OAB, including antimuscarinics and beta-3 adrenoceptor agonists
- Integrate novel therapies for OAB into treatment algorithms and utilization management strategies, considering key recommendations and recent evidence
- Discuss strategies for improving patient safety and clinical outcomes in OAB
