Tolterodine ER Capsules Medication Description
Tolterodine ER capsules are part of the antimuscarinic drug class, designed to manage overactive bladder symptoms by reducing involuntary bladder contractions. Overactive bladder can significantly impact quality of life, causing frequent trips to the bathroom and unexpected leakage. Tolterodine works by selectively blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder’s detrusor muscle, which decreases spasms and improves storage capacity. The extended-release formulation ensures a steady level of medication throughout the day, reducing the need for multiple doses and minimizing peak-related side effects. This medication is often considered when behavioral therapies, such as bladder training, are insufficient. It is commonly included in treatment plans alongside lifestyle adjustments like fluid management and pelvic floor exercises. Clinicians monitor patients for therapeutic response and tolerability, as antimuscarinics can cause systemic effects such as dry mouth and constipation. Tolterodine ER is generally well tolerated, but caution is required in individuals with certain conditions, including severe liver impairment or urinary retention risk. -
Tolterodine ER Capsules Side Effects
Common side effects of tolterodine ER include dry mouth, constipation, headache, and blurred vision. Some patients may experience dizziness or fatigue. Serious but less common effects include difficulty urinating, severe allergic reactions, and worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma. Because this medication can slow bladder emptying, patients should watch for signs of urinary retention, such as inability to urinate or abdominal pain. If severe symptoms occur, medical attention is necessary. -
