Tolterodine tartrate ER 4 mg is an extended-release medication used to treat overactive bladder (OAB). It helps reduce the urge to urinate frequently, urgently, and unexpectedly.
This extended-release formulation means the medication is released slowly into your body, providing longer-lasting relief compared to immediate-release versions. This allows for once-daily dosing.
- Key Benefit: Reduces urinary frequency and urgency. Administration: Taken once daily, usually with food. Mechanism: Relaxes bladder muscles, decreasing spasms.
Possible side effects include dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. Inform your doctor if you experience any side effects or if symptoms worsen.
Important Note: Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and timing. Consult your doctor: Before taking Tolterodine, discuss your medical history, including any other medications you are taking. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.
This medication is not a cure for OAB, but it can significantly improve your quality of life by managing symptoms.
