Abstract
Efficacy and tolerance of the anticholinergic and calcium antagonistic drug terodiline (Mictrol) were investigated in comparison to placebo in 42 children with diurnal enuresis. The study was double-blind with a modified cross-over design with 2 treatment periods of 4 weeks. Terodiline in a daily dose of 25 mg was well tolerated. A statistically significant decrease in the number of wet episodes per day was found with terodiline when compared to placebo. In addition a high patient preference for terodiline was observed. This study shows that terodiline is effective in the treatment of daytime enuresis in children. The low incidence of side-effects also favours the use of terodiline in children.
