Suggest Dosage For Tolterodine

My doctor has prescribed Tolterodine Tart 4 mg capsules. It says once a day and I was reading the recommendation on the web site and it says usually twice a day. Is there problems taking it twice a day? I take one in the morning because I have water aerobics in the morning but I get up about every 2 hours at night.

Hi & Welcome.
Based on the history you seem to be suffering from urinary incontinence for which your doctor has prescribed Tolterodine.

The dose of Tolterodine depends upon the type of medication used.

Extended release capsules of Tolterodine 4 mg are usually prescribed once daily. Whereas the immediate release tablets of 2 mg are prescribed twice daily. There is no problem in taking it twice daily.

Hope this answers your query.
