Detrol



Pronunciation: tol-TER-oh-deen
Generic Name: Tolterodine
Brand Name: Detrol


Detrol is used for:

Treating overactive bladder with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and leakage. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Detrol is an antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) agent. It works by blocking a chemical that causes contractions of the bladder.


Do NOT use Detrol if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Detrol or to fesoterodine

  • you have uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, trouble urinating, or have slowed emptying of your stomach

  • you are taking a solid oral potassium product (eg, tablet)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using Detrol:


Some medical conditions may interact with Detrol. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have glaucoma; a blockage of the bladder, stomach, or bowel; stomach or bowel problems (eg, slowed moving of the bowel, constipation); spinal cord injury; dementia; liver or kidney problems; or myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness)

  • if you or a family member have a history of irregular heartbeat (eg, prolonged QT, long QT syndrome)

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Detrol. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Antiarrhythmics (eg, amiodarone, quinidine) because the risk of irregular heartbeat may be increased

  • Solid oral potassium products (eg, tablets) because the risk of stomach or bowel irritation may be increased by Detrol

  • Other anticholinergics (eg, scopolamine), azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole), cyclosporine, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir), macrolide antibiotics (eg, clarithromycin, erythromycin), nefazodone, or vinblastine because they may increase the risk of Detrol's side effects

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Detrol may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use Detrol:


Use Detrol as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • An extra patient leaflet is available with Detrol. Talk to your pharmacist if you have questions about this information.

  • Take Detrol by mouth with or without food.

  • Detrol works best if it is taken at the same time each day.

  • If you miss a dose of Detrol, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Detrol.



Important safety information:


  • Detrol may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Detrol with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

  • Do NOT change your dose of Detrol without checking with your doctor.

  • Detrol should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

  • Caution is advised when using Detrol in CHILDREN; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially an increased risk of urinary tract infection or behavior or attention problems.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Detrol while you are pregnant. It is not known if Detrol is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Detrol.


Possible side effects of Detrol:


All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:



Blurred vision; constipation; dizziness; drowsiness; dry eyes; dry mouth; headache; indigestion; stomach pain.



Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, throat, or tongue; unusual hoarseness); chest pain; confusion; difficult or painful urination; disorientation; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; hallucinations; memory problems; severe dizziness; swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet.



This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.

General information:


  • If you have any questions about Detrol, please talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.

  • Detrol is to be used only by the patient for whom it is prescribed. Do not share it with other people.
