Detrusitol

Detrusitol contains the active ingredient tolterodine, which works by relaxing the muscle that is found in the wall of the bladder. As a result, the bladder can hold more urine without there being an urge to urinate, which means fewer bathroom visits.

Detrusitol is used to treat urge incontinence, a form of urinary incontinence due to an overactive bladder. Urge incontinence occurs when the bladder muscles contract too fast and involuntarily, causing patients to urinate small quantities more frequently or pass urine involuntary. Because Detrusitol influences muscle contraction in the bladder, it can help to reduce urge incontinence.

Detrusitol may have side effects, although not everyone gets them. The most commonly reported side effects include:

Gastrointestinal symptoms. It is best to take Detrusitol with meals if you have stomach problems

Dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, blurred vision

Dry mouth

Headache
