Tolterodine D14 hydrochloride

Tolterodine D14 hydrochloride is a medication used to treat overactive bladder symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incontinence. It is a selective muscarinic receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the action of acetylcholine in the bladder, reducing bladder contractions and increasing bladder capacity. This medication is available in tablet form and is typically taken once or twice a day, depending on the severity of the symptoms. It is usually taken with a glass of water, with or without food. The dosage is determined by the doctor based on the patient's medical history, age, and response to the treatment. Tolterodine D14 hydrochloride is a deuterated form of tolterodine, which means that some of the hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium. This modification is used in pharmacokinetic studies to differentiate the drug from its metabolites and to determine its metabolic pathways. The chemical formula of Tolterodine D14 hydrochloride is C22H31D14NO2Cl, and its molecular weight is 424.06 g/mol. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol. Like any other medication, Tolterodine D14 hydrochloride may cause side effects, such as dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and dizziness. It should be used with caution in patients with liver or kidney problems, glaucoma, or myasthenia gravis. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions and to report any unusual symptoms.
