Uses
Detrol is an antimuscarinic agent used to treat
overactive bladder. It may also be used to treat other
conditions as determined by your doctor.
How To Use
Follow the directions for using Detrol provided
by your doctor. SWALLOW WHOLE. Do not break, crush,
or chew before swallowing. STORE DETROL at room
temperature below 77 degrees F (25 degrees C), away
from heat and light. IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF DETROL,
take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for
your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to
your regular dosing schedule. Do NOT take 2 doses at
once.
