Tolterodine (Detrol LA) Tips from Pharmacists

• Take Detrol LA (extended-release capsules) with a full glass of water. Do not cut, crush, or chew the capsules.

• Continue taking tolterodine even if you don’t notice an improvement in your symptoms right away. This medicine can take about 1-2 weeks to start working, and it can take up to 8 weeks to get maximum relief.

• Tolterodine can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.

• Tell your doctor if you have a confirmed or suspected pregnancy. Tolterodine may cause harm to an unborn baby.
