Roliten 1 mg: Expert Medical Product Description

💊 Roliten 1 mg Product Description

Roliten 1 mg, containing the active ingredient Tolterodine, is a prescription medication designed to manage the symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB). OAB is a common condition characterized by a sudden, compelling urge to urinate that is difficult to defer, often leading to frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence (leakage).

Mechanism of Action: Tolterodine is classified as an antimuscarinic agent. It works by blocking muscarinic receptors on the detrusor muscle of the bladder wall. By inhibiting the action of acetylcholine—a chemical messenger that triggers bladder contractions—Roliten helps to relax the bladder muscle. This relaxation increases the bladder’s capacity to hold urine and reduces the involuntary, inappropriate contractions that cause urgency and frequency.

Key Benefits:

• Reduces Urinary Urgency: Effectively minimizes the sudden, compelling need to urinate.
• Decreases Frequency: Helps to lessen the number of times you need to visit the toilet throughout the day and night.
• Manages Urge Incontinence: Reduces episodes of accidental urine leakage associated with urgency.
• Improves Quality of Life: Provides better control over bladder function, allowing for greater comfort and freedom in daily activities.

🛡️ Precautions

Is Roliten 1 mg Right for You?

Before starting treatment, discuss your full medical history with your healthcare provider. Roliten 1 mg should be used with caution, or may be contraindicated, in patients with conditions such as uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, urinary retention, severe decreased gastrointestinal motility (e.g., severe constipation), or myasthenia gravis.

DO NOT STOP SUDDENLY: Do not discontinue Roliten 1 mg without consulting your physician. Abrupt cessation may lead to a recurrence or worsening of your overactive bladder symptoms. Your doctor will provide a plan if the medication needs to be stopped or the dosage changed.
