Doesnt this drug relax the smooth muscles ?
Wouldnt that make someone need to void even more?

Its actually the opposite, the muscles of urinary bladder need to relax, the act of contraction makes us void.In relaxed state urine would be stored in bladder, once muscles contract it gets a push and urine comes out and this action is voluntary, that is why we can control voiding.
So ditropan reduces spasms of bladder and urinary tract and helps treat overactive blader.

There at the moment aren't any over the counter drugs that take care of overactive bladder. If the challenge would not settle on itself in an afternoon or so once you lay off the caffeine, you should verify a healthcare specialist.

yes...as the question states, overactive bladder...means too much spasm. Relax the muscle and actually void less.

AS I UNDERSTAND IT IT REDUCES THE FLEXING OF THE BLADDER WHICH REDUCES THE URGE TO VOID.
