Tolterodine XL/Detrusitol XL

Tolterodine XL (sold under the brand name Detrusitol XL) is a bladder relaxant medicine used to treat overactive bladder symptoms, including urinary urgency, frequent urination and urge incontinence. As a modified-release (extended-release) tablet, Tolterodine XL releases medicine gradually throughout the day for stable bladder control. Most people use Tolterodine XL (Detrusitol XL) tablets when they prefer a once-daily OAB treatment that supports better bladder control and fewer disruptions from urinary symptoms.

You can order Tolterodine XL tablets online from Pharmacy Planet after a short consultation reviewed by one of our UK prescribers. If you need consistent OAB therapy for urgency, frequency or incontinence, Tolterodine XL tablets are worth considering.

Tolterodine XL tablets are antimuscarinic medicines designed to treat overactive bladder and related urinary disorders. They are intended to reduce urinary urgency, frequent urination and involuntary leakage. The extended-release formulation means you usually take the tablet once a day for smoother symptom control.

Common uses for Tolterodine XL include treating urinary urgency, frequent daytime urination, and urge urinary incontinence, where leakage occurs before reaching the toilet. It is also taken to manage everyday overactive bladder symptoms with the convenience of a once-daily dose.

Tolterodine works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder muscle. This reduces involuntary bladder contractions and allows the bladder to store more urine comfortably. Because of this, urgency and frequent trips to the bathroom tend to become less frequent. The extended-release nature of Tolterodine XL maintains this effect steadily over 24 hours for consistent bladder relaxation and control.

Take Tolterodine XL tablets exactly as directed by our UK prescriber. Swallow each tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew.

Useful Tips for Best Results:

• Take Tolterodine XL at the same time each day.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Keep a regular daily schedule to help build consistent bladder control.
• If you have side effects or doubts, speak to your prescriber.

The typical dose for adults is 4 mg once daily. For patients with kidney or liver issues, or if side effects occur, the dose may be reduced to 2 mg once daily. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for the next dose. Do not take two doses together.

Tolterodine XL may be suitable for:

• Adults experiencing overactive bladder symptoms like urgency, frequent urination or urge incontinence.
• People who prefer a once-daily bladder relaxant for an easier routine.

Tolterodine XL is not suitable for:

• Anyone allergic to Tolterodine or any tablet ingredients.
• People with untreated narrow-angle glaucoma or significant urinary retention/obstruction.
• Individuals with severe ulcerative colitis, toxic megacolon or serious gastrointestinal disorders.
• Those with serious liver or kidney disease (unless managed carefully).

Many people do not have serious problems, but like all medicines, Tolterodine XL can cause side effects in some people.

Common Side Effects:

• Dry mouth
• Headache

Other Possible Side Effects Include:

• Dry or blurred vision, dizziness or drowsiness, constipation or digestive discomfort, difficulty urinating or reduced bladder emptying, occasional palpitations or faster heartbeat (in people prone to heart issues)

If you notice serious symptoms — for example, severe vision changes, urinary retention, chest pain, swelling, or allergic reactions — stop taking the medicine and contact your UK prescriber immediately.

Tolterodine XL tablets are popular because they reduce sudden urinary urgency, cut down how often you need to visit the bathroom during the day, and improve overall bladder control by lowering the risk of accidental leakage. They offer the convenience of once-daily dosing and provide steady, extended relief that supports a more comfortable daily routine. If you're looking for a trusted extended-release option to ease urinary urgency or frequent urination, Tolterodine XL is a reliable choice for managing OAB symptoms.
