Effectiveness
How Fesoterodine Fumarate Affects Patients
Fesoteridine is broken down into 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT) by the body. 5-HMT has the effect of blocking certain receptors (muscarinic) that cause increased bladder contractions and salivation. This reduces the pressure in the bladder and the urge to urinate.
How Fesoterodine Fumarate works in the body
Fesoterodine stops the muscles in your bladder from contracting. This reduces pressure in the bladder and limits how much can be emptied at once.
