Description
What is Detrol used for?
Chemical Name: TOLTERODINE (tol-TE-roe-deen)
Detrol (Tolterodine)
Detrol belongs to the group of antimuscarinic and antispasmodic drugs. It is used in the symptomatic treatment of an overactive urinary bladder which involves urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence. Detrol acts by relaxing the muscles in the urinary bladder which helps in improving the ability to control urine. Furthermore, this effect also helps in reducing leaking of the urine, the feeling or urgency to urinate immediately and frequent trips to the bathroom.
Detrol is easily available, and you can buy Detrol easily from Canada Pharmacy. Detrol generic is also available.
Directions
Detrol should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is taken orally and should be swallowed whole. Do not break or chew the tablet as it will not only increase the risk of developing side effects, but it will also cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. Usually, the drug is taken twice a day. But the dosage of Detrol will depend upon your medical condition, especially any liver or kidney disease, your response to treatment and interactions with any other drugs that you might be taking.
