What Experts Say

Tolterodine belongs to a class of drugs called antimuscarinics. It works by blocking specific receptors in the bladder muscle, which reduces involuntary contractions. This helps the bladder hold more urine before the urge to void becomes strong, easing symptoms of overactive bladder. Its selectivity for bladder tissue over other muscarinic sites helps limit certain systemic effects.

The usual starting dose is 2mg twice daily, though some patients are switched to a lower dose if side effects like dry mouth become bothersome. Because tolterodine is processed by liver enzymes, dosing may need adjustment in people taking certain other medicines or with liver problems. Extended-release forms are sometimes preferred for patients who experience dry mouth with the immediate-release tablet.

Doctors usually review response after a few weeks of treatment, since the full benefit can take time to appear. Patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, severe constipation, or urinary retention need careful evaluation before starting, since antimuscarinic drugs can worsen these conditions.
