Detrol LA

Detrol LA (tolterodine tartrate) is an extended-release antimuscarinic medication used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, including urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. It works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder, allowing it to hold more urine and reducing the frequency of urination. Detrol LA provides long-lasting relief from OAB symptoms with once-daily dosing.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Detrol LA Work?

Detrol LA works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder, which reduces the involuntary contractions of the bladder muscles. This allows the bladder to store more urine and reduces the urgent need to urinate.



What is Detrol LA Used For?

Treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence


Common Dosages

Detrol LA is available in the following strengths:

  • 2 mg extended-release capsules
  • 4 mg extended-release capsules


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

The typical starting dose for adults is 4 mg once daily. Based on the patient's response and tolerability, the dose may be reduced to 2 mg once daily.


Who Shouldn't Take Detrol LA?

Detrol LA should not be used in individuals with:

  • Urinary retention
  • Gastric retention (e.g., severe digestive disorders)
  • Uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma
  • Known hypersensitivity to tolterodine or any ingredients in the formulation


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take Detrol LA at the same time every day, with or without food. Swallow the capsule whole and do not crush or chew it.
  • If you experience dry mouth, chewing sugarless gum or sucking on sugarless candy may help.
  • Drink plenty of water and maintain hydration, as antimuscarinics can lead to dry mouth and decreased sweating.
  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose.


Side Effects of Detrol LA

Common Side Effects

  • Dry mouth
  • Headache
  • Constipation
  • Drowsiness
  • Blurred vision


Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Urinary retention
  • Severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
  • Confusion or memory problems


Risks and Warnings of Detrol LA

Cognitive Impairment: Detrol LA may cause drowsiness, confusion, or memory problems in some patients. Use caution when driving or operating machinery.

Urinary Retention: In some patients, especially those with pre-existing urinary issues, Detrol LA can worsen urinary retention. Patients should be monitored for difficulty urinating.

Increased Glaucoma Risk: Detrol LA can worsen narrow-angle glaucoma. Patients with glaucoma should be closely monitored, and the medication should be avoided in uncontrolled cases.


Interactions with Detrol LA

Common Drug Interactions

  • Other anticholinergic medications: Using Detrol LA with other anticholinergics can increase the risk of side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision.
  • Ketoconazole or other CYP3A4 inhibitors: These medications can increase the blood levels of tolterodine, leading to an increased risk of side effects.
  • Medications that slow gastric motility: Combining Detrol LA with other medications that slow digestion can increase the risk of gastric retention

Alternatives to Detrol LA

  • Oxybutynin (Ditropan XL): Another antimuscarinic medication used for the treatment of overactive bladder.
  • Solifenacin (Vesicare): A long-acting antimuscarinic for the treatment of overactive bladder.
  • Myrbetriq (mirabegron): A beta-3 adrenergic agonist used to treat OAB by relaxing the bladder without using anticholinergic effects.
  • Trospium (Sanctura XR): An anticholinergic medication with similar effects used to treat OAB.
