Abstract
The invention relates to a device for urinary catheterisation comprising a catheter element and a pharmaceutically active composition containing a hormone, an efferent blocking agent, an afferent blocking agent and/or a sympathomimetic agent, the catheter element being adapted to deliver the pharmaceutically active composition in the lower urinary tract system during catheterisation. The invention also relates to the use of said pharmaceutically active composition for the manufacture of a device for the treatment, alleviation or prophylaxis of incontinence in a human and to a method of treating a human suffering from or being susceptible to incontinence. The invention further relates to a device for urinary catheterisation comprising a discrete unit dose comprising a pharmaceutically active composition and a catheter element adapted to shed said pharmaceutically active composition in the lower urinary tract system during catheterisation.
