What is Tolterodine Tartrate?
|
|
Tolterodine
tartrate is a type of medicine called an
anticholinergic (or antimuscarinic) muscle relaxant.
It works by relaxing the involuntary muscle that is
found in the wall of the bladder.
The
bladder muscle can sometimes contract in
uncontrollable spasms, and this can cause an
increase in the frequency of urination,
uncontrollable urges to pass urine, and urinary
incontinence.

|
How does Tolterodine Tartrate
work?
|
|
Tolterodine
works by relaxing the muscle in the wall of the
bladder. It does this by blocking receptors called
cholinergic (or muscarinic) receptors that are found
on the surface of the muscle cells. This prevents a
natural body chemical called acetylcholine from
acting on these receptors.
|
|
|
Acetylcholine
acting on these receptors normally causes the muscle
in the bladder wall to contract, and the bladder to
empty. By preventing this, tolterodine helps the
muscle in the bladder wall to relax. This reduces
unstable, involuntary contractions of the bladder,
and thereby increases the capacity of the bladder to
hold urine. This in turn reduces the need to pass
urine.
