Terol LA 2 mg Capsule ER

Terol LA 2 mg Capsule ER is a prescription medicine that contains tolterodine 2 mg in each extended-release capsule. It belongs to the antimuscarinic class, which helps calm an overactive bladder. Terol LA 2 mg Capsule ER is used to reduce urinary urgency, frequent urination, and urge incontinence in adults. Because it is an extended-release capsule, it is designed to release the medicine gradually over time.

How it works: Tolterodine in Terol LA 2 mg Capsule ER blocks certain signals from the bladder that trigger sudden squeezing. This helps the bladder relax and hold urine longer, which can lower urgency and leakage.

Terol LA 2 mg Capsule ER is the lower-strength tolterodine extended-release capsule, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants a gentler starting or maintenance dose. Compared with higher-dose tolterodine products, the 2 mg capsule may be better tolerated in people who are more sensitive to dry mouth, constipation, or other anticholinergic effects.
