摘要
Tolterodine is a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist which has recently been launched for the treatment of overactive bladder. Tolterodine shows functional selectivity for the bladder over the salivary glands in vivo, which is not attributable to muscarinic receptor subtype selectivity. It is as potent as oxybutynin in inhibiting bladder contraction, but is much less potent in inhibiting salivation, suggesting that it may have less propensity to cause dry mouth in clinical use. In patients with overactive bladder, tolterodine significantly reduces the frequency of micturition and number of incontinence episodes, while increasing the average volume voided. The onset of pharmacological action of tolterodine is < 1 hour and therapeutic efficacy is maintained during long term treatment. In comparative trials, tolterodine and oxybutynin are equivalent in terms of efficacy. However, tolterodine is significantly better tolerated than oxybutynin, particularly with respect to the incidence and severity of dry mouth. No clinically relevant ECG changes have been noted with tolterodine.
