Patent Claims:	1. A method for treating overactive bladder such that the treating is with a reduced food effect, the method comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a tablet comprising 25 mg of (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide in a sustained release hydrogel-forming formulation, wherein the sustained release hydrogel-forming formulation further comprises a carrier and provides a continuous drug release for at least 4 hours after oral administration, wherein the reduced food effect is compared to that after oral administration of an immediate release formulation comprising (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide, and is a difference in a rate of decrease of Cmax of 10% or more, and wherein the immediate release formulation is a capsule. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the capsule further comprises D-mannitol. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the capsule is produced by a process comprising: mixing (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide with D-mannitol and purified water to form a mixture; kneading the mixture to form a kneaded product; sieving the kneaded product and drying by using a fluidized bed granulating apparatus to form a dried product; and sieving the dried product and filling the capsule. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the sustained release hydrogel-forming formulation comprises polyethylene oxide and polyethylene glycol. 5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the polyethylene oxide has an average molecular weight of 200,000 to 5,000,000, and the polyethylene glycol is selected from the group consisting of PEG 400, PEG 1500, PEG 4000, PEG 6000, and PEG 20000. 6. The method according to claim 4, wherein the polyethylene oxide has an average molecular weight of 2,000,000 to 4,000,000, and the polyethylene glycol is selected from the group consisting of PEG 400, PEG 1500, PEG 4000, PEG 6000, and PEG 20000. 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the polyethylene oxide has the average molecular weight of 2,000,000. 8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the polyethylene glycol is PEG 6000. 9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the polyethylene glycol is PEG 6000. 10. The method according to claim 3, wherein the sustained release hydrogel-forming formulation comprises polyethylene oxide and polyethylene glycol. 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the polyethylene oxide has an average molecular weight of 200,000 to 5,000,000, and the polyethylene glycol is selected from the group consisting of PEG 400, PEG 1500, PEG 4000, PEG 6000, and PEG 20000. 12. The method according to claim 10, wherein the polyethylene oxide has an average molecular weight of 2,000,000 to 4,000,000, and the polyethylene glycol is selected from the group consisting of PEG 400, PEG 1500, PEG 4000, PEG 6000, and PEG 20000. 13. The method according to claim 11, wherein the polyethylene oxide has the average molecular weight of 2,000,000. 14. The method according to claim 11, wherein the polyethylene glycol is PEG 6000. 15. The method according to claim 13, wherein the polyethylene glycol is PEG 6000. 16. A method for treating overactive bladder such that the treating is with a reduced food effect, the method comprising administering orally to a subject in need thereof a tablet comprising 50 mg of (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide in a sustained release hydrogel-forming formulation, wherein the sustained release hydrogel-forming formulation further comprises a carrier and provides a continuous drug release for at least 4 hours after oral administration, wherein the reduced food effect is compared to that after oral administration of an immediate release formulation comprising (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide, and is a difference in a rate of decrease of Cmax of 10% or more, and wherein the immediate release formulation is a capsule. 17.
