Terol LA 4 mg Capsule

Terol LA 4 mg Capsule is a long-acting oral capsule that contains 4 mg of tolterodine in each capsule. It belongs to the antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) class of medicines and is used to treat overactive bladder symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and urge incontinence. Terol LA 4 mg Capsule helps calm an overactive bladder so you may have fewer sudden urges and fewer bathroom trips. This product is a prescription medicine and should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional.

How it works: Tolterodine in Terol LA 4 mg Capsule blocks certain muscarinic receptors in the bladder, which helps reduce bladder muscle overactivity. Because this is a long-acting capsule, it releases the medicine gradually to help provide round-the-clock symptom control with once-daily dosing.

Terol LA 4 mg Capsule is the higher-strength, extended-release form, so it is meant for patients whose doctor has decided that a once-daily 4 mg dose is appropriate. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand in our store, this capsule should be viewed as the full prescribed maintenance dose rather than a starter form. A clinician may choose Terol LA 4 mg Capsule when a steady, all-day effect is desired and the patient can tolerate a stronger antimuscarinic dose.

• You may take it with or without food.

Each Terol LA 4 mg Capsule provides 4 mg of tolterodine. For adults, this extended-release dose is typically taken once daily, and the maximum usual dose is 4 mg per day unless your doctor gives different instructions. Your prescriber chooses the dose based on your symptoms, other medicines, and how well you tolerate treatment.

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