Description
What is Detrusitol?
Detrusitol is used to treat an overactive bladder. An overactive urinary bladder causes an uncontrollable urge to urinate and an increased frequency of urination.
How does it work?
The active ingredient in these tablets is the Tolterodine L-tartrate. It belongs to a class of drugs called antispasmodics. These drugs relax the smooth muscles of the bladder and reduce the spasm. This drug causes an increase in the storage volume of the bladder and also influences the nervous system to reduce the urinary reflexes.
