Which is better, Detrol LA or Oxybutynin?

Detrol LA typically begins to take effect within 3 to 6 hours, but it may take up to 4 weeks or longer to achieve full results. If symptoms don’t improve after 1 to 2 weeks, consult your doctor.

Question 6

Should I take Detrol in the morning or at night?

The usual adult dose is 2mg in the morning and 2mg in the evening, about 12 hours apart. For children, the dose may vary, with some prescribed 1mg at bedtime for bedwetting.

Question 7

Is Detrol LA the same as tolterodine?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Detrol and Detrol LA are brand names for tolterodine, which also comes in generic form. All are taken orally, but the main difference is whether it’s a standard tablet or an extended-release capsule.
