Terol

Description
Terol contains Tolterodine Tartrate, a medicine used to control an overactive bladder. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles to reduce sudden urges to urinate, frequent bathroom trips, or accidental leakage. It does not cure the underlying cause but helps improve daily comfort and bladder control.

Generic Name
Tolterodine Tartrate.

Drug Class
Antimuscarinic / Bladder Muscle Relaxant.

Uses
Terol is prescribed for:

• Overactive bladder (OAB).

• Frequent urination (more than normal).

• Strong sudden urge to urinate.

• Urinary incontinence (leakage before reaching the toilet).

How It Works
Tolterodine blocks specific receptors in the bladder muscle that trigger involuntary contractions. This helps the bladder hold urine longer and reduces urgency.

Doctor’s Review

Dr. Farah Siddiqui (Urologist) Patients who struggle with urgency or frequent urination, especially those who wake multiple times at night. It doesn’t work immediately; noticeable improvement may take 1–2 weeks. Some patients experience dry mouth or constipation, but most tolerate it well once the dose is adjusted.
