Frequently asked questions

Does Tolterodine cause dementia?
The relationship between Tolterodine and dementia is unclear. Some reports suggest that in individuals with dementia, Tolterodine may exacerbate symptoms such as confusion and disorientation.
Can I just stop taking Tolterodine?
Tolterodine helps manage overactive bladder symptoms but does not cure the condition. Do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor, who will evaluate your need for the medication at regular intervals, typically every six months.
Can Tolterodine be used in children?
Tolterodine is not recommended for children, as studies have shown it does not effectively relieve overactive bladder symptoms in this population.
Who should avoid taking Tolterodine?
Tolterodine should be avoided by individuals with urinary retention, delayed gastric emptying, bowel obstruction, uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, or certain muscle diseases (e.g., myasthenia gravis). Those with hypersensitivity to Tolterodine should also refrain from using it.
What class of drug is Tolterodine? Is it a diuretic?
Tolterodine is classified as a muscarinic receptor blocker and is not a diuretic. It functions as a urinary antispasmodic, relaxing the bladder to reduce spasms and enhance urine storage.
Can I crush the tablets of Tolterodine and then take it?
No, do not crush or chew Tolterodine tablets. Swallow them whole with a glass of water, with or without food, as directed by your doctor.
How long does it take for Tolterodine to show its effects?
Symptoms may begin to improve within one week of starting Tolterodine, with maximum benefits typically observed after 5-8 weeks. Long-term use of up to 24 months may be necessary to maintain these improvements.
I am having constipation because of which I want to discontinue Tolterodine. Will I have any harmful effects?
Discontinuing Tolterodine will not cause harmful effects, but overactive bladder symptoms may return. Consult your doctor about your constipation and follow their advice regarding stopping the medication.
