Purpose
The study is designed to investigate the effects of an investigational drug, MK-4618 on maximum urinary bladder capacity in women with overactive bladder. Overactive bladder is best described as urgency and frequency of urination, with or without involuntary urination and/or the need to awaken during the night to urinate.
