Last reviewed June 2026
Who is this for?
Tolterodine tartrate is a medicine that relaxes the muscles of your bladder, helping it hold urine better and reducing the sudden strong urge to urinate.
Blocks muscarinic M3 receptors on detrusor muscle in the bladder, reducing involuntary contractions and increasing bladder capacity. Exhibits tissue selectivity for the bladder while minimizing CNS effects, thereby controlling urge incontinence and reducing urinary frequency.

Take 1 tablet (2 mg) twice daily, morning and evening. You can take it with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Your doctor may reduce your dose to 1 mg twice daily if you experience side effects.
If you miss a dose, skip it and take your next dose at the normal time. Do not take two tablets at once to make up for the missed one. Just continue your regular schedule.
Only buy from licensed pharmacies — a brand like Roliten Tablets (2 mg) is available in Nigeria, so ask for it by name. Do not share this medicine with others who have similar symptoms, as it requires proper diagnosis. This drug may make you dizzy or blur your vision, so be careful when driving or operating machinery, especially in busy Nigerian traffic.
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking tolterodine as it can increase dizziness and drowsiness. Be careful if you are taking antifungal medicines like ketoconazole or fluconazole, as they can increase the effects of tolterodine. Some antibiotics like erythromycin and clarithromycin can also interact with this drug — inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking.
