Tolterodine, sold under the brand names Detrol among others, is medication used to treat frequent urination, urinary incontinence, or urinary urgency.[2] Effects are seen within an hour.[3] It is taken by mouth.[3]
Common side effects include headache, dry mouth, constipation, and dizziness.[3] Serious side effects may include angioedema, urinary retention, and QT prolongation.[3] Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding are of unclear safety.[2][4] It works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder thus decreasing bladder contractions.[3]
Tolterodine was approved for medical use in 1998.[3] It is available as a generic medication.[2] A month supply costs the NHS about GB£2.09 per month as of 2019.[2] In the United States the wholesale cost of this amount is about US$37.16.[5] In 2017, it was the 229th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than two million prescriptions.[6][7]
