The detrusor muscle is a muscle found in the bladder wall. Sometimes, it can have uncontrollable spasms. This is called an overactive bladder. Overactive detrusor muscles can cause an increased frequency of passing urine or uncontrollable urges to urinate.
Tolterodine relaxes the bladder wall's detrusor muscles. It is achieved by blocking the muscarinic nerves at the surface of muscle cells. This will stop acetylcholine, a natural chemical, from binding to the receptors.
Normally, the acetylcholine acting upon the receptors will cause detrusor muscles to contract and the bladder to empty. Tolterodine blocks acetylcholine and helps the bladder wall muscle relax. It reduces the involuntary, unstable contractions of the bladder, increasing bladder capacity to hold urine. It also reduces the need for urine to be passed.
Detrusitol comes in an immediate-release form, meaning that it is absorbed from the stomach quickly after being taken.
Read the information leaflet thoroughly for the instructions on how to take it.
Take this prolonged-release tablet as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or break it. It may be taken before, during, or after a meal.
If you forget to take it on time, take it when you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take another as scheduled. Do not double up the dosage to make up for the missed one.
