How Common Is OAB?

Overactive bladder (OAB) is very common. It affects 1 in 6 men and women in the US. So, even though you may feel like you’re the only one dealing with the symptoms of OAB, remember—you are not alone.

OAB is not a normal or expected part of aging. People can get symptoms in their early 30s or 40s. You do not need to suffer alone or worry about hiding the symptoms of OAB. There is proven treatment that can help.

DETROL LA helps calm the bladder muscle that causes frequent, strong sudden urges to go to the bathroom. Just one pill works for 24 hours to reduce symptoms all day and all night* with fewer strong sudden urges to go. So you can worry less about accidents and not have to rush to the bathroom as much. Just imagine what that can do for you!

DETROL LA is the most prescribed overactive bladder medicine.^† And, Pfizer also offers you support, tools, and resources to help you manage your symptoms.

DETROL® LA (tolterodine tartrate extended release capsules) treats the symptoms of overactive bladder (leaks, strong sudden urges to go, going too often).

You should not take DETROL LA if you have certain types of stomach problems, glaucoma, or if you have trouble passing urine. The most common side effect is dry mouth. Other side effects may include headache, constipation, and abdominal pain.

DETROL LA has both benefits and risks. There may be other options. Ask your doctor if DETROL LA is right for you.
