Detrol LA
For the sufferer, incontinence is not only extremely inconvenient; it can also be very embarrassing. However, a solution to this problem is to order Detrol LA.
The active ingredient in Detrol LA is Tolterodine. Tolterodine is what is known as a cholinergic receptor blocker. It serves to slow the build-up of pressure in the bladder, eliminating the need to urinate frequently, especially where there is no or little urine in the bladder. By deciding to purchase Detrol LA, sufferers are spared the discomfort of feeling a full bladder when there is little or no urine present. It can also help prevent potentially embarrassing urine leakages.
The 'LA' in Detrol LA stands for long acting. Individuals who use this medication can usually deal with OAB, overactive bladder, symptoms and the constant urge to urinate, by taking just one capsule during a 24-hour period.
After deciding to buy Detrol LA capsules the patient must ensure that the dose is taken at the same time every day, either with or without food. It should be swallowed whole with liquid. Those using this medication should not take two doses in one day. If one is missed the user should wait until the next day to take their regular dose.
No two people are the same and the length of time it takes for the medication to take effect can differ. For some, the OAB symptoms may begin to improve as early as the first week. For others it may take longer, but it is important that Detrol LA is given time to work. Those taking this medication over several months will experience noticeable improvements.
Detrol LA is a prescription drug. When visiting their doctor, the OAB sufferer should inform him or her about any other medications, prescription and non-prescription, vitamins or supplements that are being taken.
Different medications have various effects on people, so those taking Detrol FA should not drive or operate machinery if it causes dizziness or blurred vision. Generally, those prescribed the medication will be able to determine if there are any side effects after the initial stages of taking it. Other side effects may include dryness of the mouth, constipation, headache and pain in the stomach. If these problems cause concern they should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist. It will be a case of balancing the advantages of taking Detrol LA with the discomfort of the side effects.
In rare cases, there may be more serious side effects. If these should occur it is necessary to stop taking the medication immediately and seek medical help.
Those suffering from other medical conditions should inform the medical practitioner when being prescribed Colcrys, particularly if they suffer problems with their liver and kidney. The patient may still be able to take this drug, but the dosage may have to be adjusted accordingly.
Detrol LA may not be suitable for everyone. Those who should not use this medication include people who suffer from glaucoma, are unable to empty the bladder or who have certain problems with the stomach. A discussion with a doctor will determine who can and cannot take the drug.
