Frequently asked questions about tolterodine
What is tolterodine used to treat?
Tolterodine is prescribed to treat the symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB). OAB occurs when the muscles in the bladder contract even when there is only a small amount of urine in the bladder.
Common causes of an overactive bladder include:
- Age
- Neurological disorders (such as stroke)
- Diabetes
- Hormone changes during menopause
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Enlarged prostate
- Constipation
- Medication usage (such as diuretics or pills that must be taken with water)
The symptoms of an overactive bladder can be embarrassing. While an overactive bladder is rarely classified as a medical emergency, treatment can help alleviate these inconvenient effects of the condition.
Common symptoms associated with an overactive bladder include:
- Frequent need to urinate
- Urge to urinate even if you just emptied your bladder
- Incontinence (involuntary urination)
- Frequent need to urinate at night
How does tolterodine work?
Tolterodine belongs to a classification of medications known as antimuscarinics. These drugs work by relaxing muscles in the bladder, which can prevent bladder contractions. Bladder contractions cause and exacerbate the symptoms of an overactive bladder. By decreasing these spasms, tolterodine reduces the urge and need to urinate.
What are the common side effects of tolterodine?
Tolterodine has been shown to cause some side effects. If these adverse reactions do not go away within a few days, talk to your health care provider.
Common symptoms reported while taking tolterodine include:
- Dry mouth
- Heartburn
- Headache
- Constipation
This is not a complete list of adverse effects – though these are among the most common. Seek medical attention right away if you experience symptoms such as swelling, chest pain, fainting, rash, hives, or difficulty breathing.
As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with, and any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with tolterodine. Tolterodine can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.
What is the typical starting dose of tolterodine?
Tolterodine is commonly prescribed as an oral tablet. For adults and children over the age of 12, the preliminary dosage of tolterodine starts at 2 mg to be taken twice a day. Your doctor may adjust this dosage as needed. This medication can be taken with or without food.
Do not discontinue or increase your dosage of tolterodine without consulting your doctor first. Take the medication exactly as prescribed, and inform your doctor if you begin to experience any side effects while taking the medication.
