Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a distressing condition characterised by urine leakage upon physical effort, coughing or sneezing and may affect up to half of adult women. Despite this there are no globally approved pharmacotherapies. A common approach is the targeting of lower urinary tract (LUT) α₁-adrenoceptors, which however can lead to unwanted increases in blood pressure and reflex bradycardia.
