Terol 2 mg Tablet

Terol 2 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 2 mg of tolterodine in each tablet. It belongs to the antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) class and is used to help control an overactive bladder, including sudden urges to urinate, frequent urination, and urine leakage. Terol 2 mg Tablet works by calming an overactive bladder muscle so the bladder can store urine more comfortably. This pack contains 10 tablets, made by Cipla, India.

How it works: Tolterodine in Terol 2 mg Tablet blocks certain nerve signals that tell the bladder muscle to squeeze too often. By relaxing the bladder, the tablet helps reduce urgency, frequency, and accidental leakage.

Terol 2 mg Tablet is the higher tablet strength in this brand compared with Terol 1 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants a stronger effect or when the lower strength is not enough. Because it is a 2 mg tablet, it is not a starting dose for everyone and should be used only when a clinician has assessed that this strength is appropriate. Some people may notice more dry mouth or constipation with the 2 mg tablet than with the 1 mg tablet.

• Overactive bladder
• Urgency to urinate
• Frequent urination
• Urge urinary incontinence
• Bladder spasms as prescribed

• Swallow the Terol 2 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor says it is safe.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribes, because the schedule can depend on your response and other medicines.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it the same way each day can help you remember it.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Avoid taking extra tablets to try to make it work faster, since this can increase side effects without improving control.

Each Terol 2 mg Tablet provides 2 mg of tolterodine per tablet. Depending on your condition and how you respond, a doctor may prescribe it once or twice daily; the usual maximum total dose is 4 mg per day for the immediate-release tablet form. Your doctor should decide the exact dose and duration for you, especially because this is the 2 mg strength.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
