Urologists mostly from Britain but also the continent and the US survey the wide range of drugs used in urology. In sections on functional disorders, urinary tract infection, urological oncology, and analgesia, they look at classes of drugs and outline for each agent the mechanism of action; the evidence for efficacy, safety, and tolerability; and practical issues relating to its use.
