Tolterodine XL/Detrusitol XL

Tolterodine is a urinary incontinence medication that is used to treat symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome. If you have overactive bladder syndrome, you may notice that you are unable to control your urine voluntarily, that you feel a sudden and urgent need to urinate without warning. and/or that the number of times you urinate during the day increases. Tolterodine is a drug that belongs to the group of medicines called antimuscarinics.

The main active ingredient Tolterodine acts on the M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 subtypes of muscarinic receptors, while modern antimuscarinic treatments for overreactive bladder only act on M3 receptors, making them more selective. Tolterodine, although acting on all types of receptors, has few undesirable effects compared to oxybutynin (selective M3 and M1, but more parotid than bladder) as tolterodine targets the bladder more than other parts of the body. This means that less drug administered daily is needed to efficiently impact the bladder and thus give fewer undesirable effects.
