Results A total 2,780 from 41 states 47% market share marketplace evaluated. Oxybutynin IR had best across insurers (0.2) while worst (0.92). Preferred more often designated higher worse ( P < 0.001). Less concordance noted specificity formulations. Conclusions Despite risks anticholinergics, expensive all highlighting need expanded avoid dysfunction when undergoing treatment OAB.
