Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used to manage the symptoms of dementia.

Oxybutynin and the overactive bladder
World Journal of Urology, 2001Oxybutynin is a tertiary amine, which undergoes an extensive first-pass metabolism. It has an active metabolite, N-desethyl oxybutynin, and the effect of oral oxybutynin is to a large extent exerted by this metabolite. Oxybutynin has both an antimuscarinic and a direct muscle relaxant effect, and, in addition, local anesthetic actions.
