1. A method of treating at least one symptom of a lower urinary tract disorder in a subject in need of treatment, wherein the symptom is selected from the group consisting of urinary frequency, urinary urgency, nocturia and enuresis, comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I:
-
wherein, R1 and R2 independently represent hydrogen, halogen or a C1-C6 alkyl group;
or R1 and R2 together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a cycloalkylene group having 5 to 6 carbon atoms;
R3 and R4 independently represent hydrogen or a C1-C6 alkyl group;
R5 is hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, or —
C(O)—
NH—
R6 wherein m is an integer from about 1 to about 3, X is halogen and R6 is a C1-C6 alkyl group; and
Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, 2-thienyl or 3-thienyl group; and

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of treating at least one symptom of a lower urinary tract disorder in a subject in need of treatment wherein the symptom is selected from the group consisting of urinary frequency, urinary urgency, urinary urge incontinence, nocturia and enuresis. The method comprises administering to a subject in need of treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that has 5-HT3 receptor antagonist activity and NorAdrenaline Reuptake Inhibitor (NARI) activity. The invention further relates to a method of treating at least one symptom of a lower urinary tract disorder in a subject in need of treatment wherein the symptom is selected from the group consisting of urinary frequency, urinary urgency, urinary urge incontinence, nocturia and enuresis, comprising coadministering to said subject a first amount of a 5-HT3 antagonist and a second amount of a NARI, wherein the first and second amounts together comprise a therapeutically effective amount or are each present in a therapeutically effective amount.
