HOW TO USE TABLET
HOW TABLET WORKS
TEROL contains Tolterodine which belongs to a group of medicines called Antimuscarinics. it is used to treat the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome which occur as an inability to control urination, need to rush to the toilet with no advance warning and/or to go to the toilet more frequently.
Overactive bladder syndrome is a condition associated with the bladder function that causes frequent and sudden urge to urinate which may be difficult to control.
Tolterodine is an antimuscarinic which works by inhibiting the bladder contraction that causes relaxation of the muscles of the urinary bladder resulting in the prevention of frequent, urgent or controlled urination thus providing relief from the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome.
