Roliten

Product Overview

Roliten is a prescription medication containing Tolterodine Tartrate as its active ingredient. Available in 1mg tablet form, it is classified as an antimuscarinic agent. This medication is primarily indicated for managing symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), including urinary urgency, increased frequency of urination, and incontinence episodes. By targeting bladder muscle activity, Roliten helps restore normal urinary function.

Therapeutic Indications

Roliten is clinically prescribed for patients exhibiting OAB symptoms characterized by:
– Sudden, compelling urges to urinate

The medication effectively improves bladder capacity and control, significantly enhancing patients’ daily functioning and quality of life.

– Swallow tablets whole; do not crush or chew
– May be taken with or without meals
– Strictly adhere to prescribed dosage regimen
– Complete full course as directed by healthcare provider

Mechanism of Action

Tolterodine Tartrate exerts its therapeutic effects through selective antagonism of muscarinic receptors in detrusor muscle tissue. This pharmacological action:
– Inhibits involuntary bladder contractions
