FAQs

How long does it take for Urotel 2mg Capsule XL to show its effect?

Your symptoms may start improving within 1 week of starting Urotel 2mg Capsule XL. Maximum benefits may be seen after 5-8 weeks of treatment. To maintain this improvement, your doctor may prescribe this medicine to you for a long term of up to 24 months.

What class of drug is Urotel 2mg Capsule XL? Is it a diuretic?

Urotel 2mg Capsule XL belongs to a class of medicines known as muscarinic receptor blockers. Urotel 2mg Capsule XL is not a diuretic, it is a urinary antispasmodic. This means that it relaxes the urinary bladder, decreasing spasm of the bladder wall. This further provides better control upon the release of urine and also increases storage volume of the bladder.

Can I just stop taking Urotel 2mg Capsule XL?

Urotel 2mg Capsule XL does not cure your condition but helps to control the symptoms of overactive bladder. Do not stop taking this medicine even if you feel better. Your doctor will reassess your condition at regular intervals, like 6 months, to understand the duration for which you need to take Urotel 2mg Capsule XL.

When studied in children, Urotel 2mg Capsule XL did not relieve the symptoms of overactive bladder. Therefore, its use in children is not recommended.

Who should avoid taking Urotel 2mg Capsule XL?

Patients who have urinary retention (unable to pass urine), have delayed emptying of stomach or blocked intestinal tract (toxic megacolon, ulcerative colitis, pyloric stenosis) or uncontrolled high pressure in the eyes (narrow-angle glaucoma). It should also be avoided by patients who have any muscle disease which causes drooping eyelids, double vision, difficulty in speaking and swallowing, and sometimes muscle weakness in the arms or legs (myasthenia gravis). Patients who are hypersensitive to Tolterodine should avoid it as well.

I am having constipation because of which I want to discontinue Urotel 2mg Capsule XL. Will I have any harmful effects?

Does Urotel 2mg Capsule XL cause dementia?
