Detrusitol Tablets

Detrusitol contains the ingredient tolterodine, which relaxes the involuntary muscle located at the surface of the bladder.

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.

Detrusitol is a prescription medicine, you should take it as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, do not pass it to anyone without consulting the doctor.

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.

Consult your doctor before you want to stop taking Detrusitol.

The usual daily dose is one 4-mg Detrutistol extended-release capsule. If you have problems with your kidneys or liver or are experiencing side effects, your doctor might reduce the dosage to 2 mg daily.
