How does Detrol work?
The active ingredient in Detrol LA is tolterodine tartrate, which is considered an anticholinergic, antimuscarinic, and antispasmodic drug. It allows your bladder muscles to relax by blocking specific receptors in the bladder. This aids with urine control, the urge to urinate, and bladder spasms.

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:
- Take with a glass of water.
- Take Detrol LA at the same time every day, with or without food.
- If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and use your next dose at the regular time. Do not take 2 doses in one day.
- Avoid crushing, chewing, breaking, or opening the capsule; instead, swallow it whole.
