Basic Information On Sanctura
Sanctura is used to control spasms of the bladder. Spasms of the bladder are a result of an overactive bladder and may cause problems like incontinence, increased frequency of urination and urgency. The Sanctura drug is an antimuscarinic agent and provides antispasmodic action by affecting the working of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. This results in reduction of muscle tone of the bladder and control of spasms.
