Drug Uses
Detrol LA capsules are once daily extended release capsules indicated for
the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence,
urgency, and frequency.
How Taken
Detrol LA comes as a tablet and an extended-release (long-acting) capsule
to take by mouth. The tablet is usually taken twice a day. The extended-release
capsule is usually taken once a day with liquids. Follow the directions on
your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain
any part you do not understand. Take Detrol LA exactly as directed. Do not
take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Swallow the extended-release capsules whole; do not split, chew, or crush
them.
Warnings/Precautions
Do not take Detrol LA if you have a blockage of the urinary tract (difficulty
urinating); or a blockage in the intestines. Before taking Detrol LA, tell
your doctor if you have liver disease; kidney disease; or glaucoma. You may
not be able to take Detrol LA, or you may require a dosage adjustment or
special monitoring if you have any of the conditions listed above. Detrol
LA is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not known whether
Detrol LA will be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not take Detrol LA without
first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant
during treatment. It is not known whether Detrol LA will harm a nursing infant.
Do not take Detrol LA without first talking to your doctor if you are

Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, 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.
Possible Side Effects
If you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of
your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives), stop taking
Detrol LA and seek emergency medical attention. Other, less serious side
effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Detrol LA and talk
to your doctor if you experience dry mouth, dryness of the eyes, blurred
vision or large pupils, upset stomach, headache, constipation, difficulty
urinating, drowsiness, or dizziness. Side effects other than those listed
here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems
unusual or that is especially bothersome.

known but might include restlessness, tremor, irritability, seizures, delirium,
hallucinations, flushing, fever, nausea, vomiting, a fast heartbeat and possibly
coma.
More Information
Use caution when driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous
activities. Detrol LA may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision.
If you experience dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision, avoid these
activities. Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness
while taking Detrol LA. Avoid becoming overheated in hot weather. Detrol
LA may increase the risk of heat stroke because it may decrease sweating.
Drink plenty of fluid to maintain adequate hydration.
