Important information about Detrol LA
How does Detrol LA work?
The active ingredient in Detrol LA is tolterodine tartrate. Tolterodine belongs to a class of medications known as anticholinergics or antimuscarinics. The mechanism of action by which these medications work is by preventing the actions of a chemical in the body known as acetylcholine. This chemical is responsible for triggering the bladder to contract and release its contents. Blocking its actions relaxes bladder muscles, reducing urinary frequency and urge.
How do you use Detrol LA?
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Detrol LA. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Detrol LA:

- Typically, Detrol LA is taken once a day with or without food at the same time every day.
- Detrol LA can cause blurred vision, dizziness, and drowsiness in some patients. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Detrol LA affects you.
