Detrol LA Information:
Detrol LA (generic name: Tolterodine) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of overactive bladder. The active ingredient is Tolterodine and it works by reducing spasms in the bladder muscles. Tolterodine is used to treat overactive bladder with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency and incontinence. Overactive bladder is also known as Urge Incontinence. It is a strong, sudden need to urinate due to bladder spasms and contractions. The symptoms include frequent urination, a burning sensation when passing urine and a need to urinate urgently. It can cause the patient to feel uncomfortable and to become stressed. Detrol LA helps to reduce these symptoms helping you to lead a more normal lifestyle. Overactive bladder can occur in men and women, although it is generally more common in women, especially those who have given birth and those aged 40-60 years.
