Tolterodine for overactive bladder

Article Abstract:

Tolterodine has fewer side effects than other drugs used to treat an overactive bladder, but it may not be as effective. An overactive bladder leads to frequent urination and urinary incontinence. Most drugs used to treat overactive bladder belong to a class of drugs called anti-muscarinic drugs because they block muscarinic cell receptors. Sold under the trade name Detrol, tolterodine also blocks these receptors . It is less likely to cause the usual side effects of these drugs, including dry mouth, intellectual impairment and heart problems.
