 VA106483 is intended to be used as a treatment for patients suffering from nocturia defined as waking to urinate at least once per night between periods of sleep. Nocturia is a condition that often worsens as sufferers get older. This may be due to an over-active bladder muscle, the bladder being able to hold less urine at night-time or over production of urine in the bladder at night. Some of the treatments available for nocturia have side-effects which make them unsuitable for elderly patients. These side-effects have not been seen in studies with VA106483, which makes it potentially suitable for treating elderly patients.
