Medicine Description detrusitol-4-retard 4mg
Detrusitol Retard 4 mg 14 Capsules is a medication that primarily functions as a competitive antagonist of muscarinic receptors in the bladder. By blocking these receptors, it inhibits the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that promotes the contraction of bladder muscles. This mechanism effectively reduces involuntary contractions of the bladder, thereby helping to alleviate symptoms associated with overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. As a result, patients experience a decrease in the frequency and urgency of urination, contributing to improved comfort and control over their daily activities.
