“I would advise anyone…that has a problem with overactive bladder, get to your doctor. Get to your doctor right away. You don't have to suffer. You don't have to allow overactive bladder to control your life.” —A DETROL LA user
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.
