• Acetylcholine stimulates M3 receptors, directly causing detrusor muscle contraction31

• Acetylcholine also stimulates M2 receptors, indirectly causing detrusor muscle contraction31

• Antimuscarinics such as Detrusitol® XL block the action of acetylcholine, reducing involuntary bladder contractions31

MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS – HOW THEY WORK

Detrusitol® is

• A potent antimuscarinic36

• With balanced selectivity for both M2 and M3 receptor subtypes35

• The first antimuscarinic agent to be developed specifically for the treatment of OAB34

• Demonstrated in vivo to have greater selectivity for the bladder than other organs such as the salivary glands37

The balanced receptor profile may be the reason for the proven efficacy and high tolerability of Detrusitol® XL35

• The human detrusor muscle contains a mixture of M2 and M3 receptors in an 80:20 ratio38

• Detrusitol® combines activity at both M2 and M3 receptors and thus may be of more benefit than agents that are selective for M335

• Detrusitol® XL is highly bladder-selective compared with the salivary glands, which may explain low incidence of dry mouth compared with other antimuscarinics37

Detrusitol® is metabolised39

• By the CYP450 enzyme system in the liver

• Primarily via enzyme CYP2D6

• Secondary route via enzyme CYP3A4

The primary objective was to assess the safety and tolerability of Detrusitol XL 4 mg daily over a 12-month period by tracking adverse events and withdrawals. The secondary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of Detrusitol XL 4 mg daily over the treatment period. Efficacy variables were: number of incontinence episodes per week, number of micturitions per 24 hours, volume voided per micturition and patient perception of bladder condition and urgency.

PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

43

Detrusitol® XL. Abbreviated Prescribing Information. Presentation: 4mg prolonged release capsule: blue with white printing (symbol and 4) containing tolterodine tartrate corresponding to 2.74mg tolterodine. Indication: Symptomatic treatment of urge incontinence and/or increased urinary frequency and urgency as may occur in patients with overactive bladder syndrome. Dosage: Adults (including the elderly): 4mg od except in patients with impaired liver function or severely impaired renal function for whom the recommended dosage is 2mg daily. For troublesome side effects the dose may be reduced from 4mg to 2mg daily*. Review after 2-3 months. Children: Not recommended. Contraindications: Patients with urinary retention, uncontrolled narrow angle glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, known hypersensitivity to tolterodine or excipients, severe ulcerative colitis or toxic megacolon. Warnings and precautions: Use with caution in patients with significant bladder outlet obstruction at risk of urinary retention, gastrointestinal obstructive disorders (e.g. pyloric stenosis), risk of decreased gastrointestinal motility, renal impairment and hepatic disease (see dosage), known risk factors for QT prolongation, relevant pre-existing cardiac diseases, autonomic neuropathy or hiatus hernia. Organic reasons for urge and frequency should be considered before treatment. Drug interactions: Concomitant treatment with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as macrolide antibiotics (e.g. erythromycin) or antifungal agents (e.g. ketoconazole) should be avoided until further data are available. A more pronounced therapeutic effect and side effects may be seen if used with other drugs that possess anticholinergic properties. Muscarinic cholinergic receptor agonists may reduce the effect of tolterodine, whereas tolterodine may reduce the effect of metoclopramide and cisapride.

Pharmacokinetic interactions are possible with other drugs metabolised by or inhibiting cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), or CYP3A4. No interactions seen with warfarin or combined oral contraceptives (ethinyloestradiol/levonorgestrel). No clinically significant interaction with fluoxetine. Pregnancy and lactation: Until more information is available tolterodine should not be used during pregnancy or lactation. Women of fertile age should be using adequate contraception. Side effects: Those reported include: common (>1/100, <1/10) dry mouth, dyspepsia, constipation, abdominal pain, flatulence, vomiting, headache, dry eyes, abnormal vision (including abnormal accommodation), dry skin, somnolence, nervousness and paraesthesia, dizziness, fatigue and chest pain; uncommon (>1/1000, <1/100) peripheral oedema, urinary retention, confusion, hypersensitivity not otherwise specified; rare (>1/10000, <1/1000) tachycardia and hallucinations. Other adverse reactions reported very rarely with tolterodine are anaphylactoid reactions including angioedema and cardiac failure. Palpitations and arrhythmia (rare) are known adverse effects for this drug class. Driving and operating machinery: The ability to drive and use machines may be affected by visual accommodation disturbances. Overdose: In the event of tolterodine overdose, treat with gastric lavage and give activated charcoal. Treat symptomatically. Legal category: POM. Pack sizes: Detrusitol®XL 4mg in cartons of 28 containing 4 blister strips of 7 capsules each; NHS price: Detrusitol® XL 4mg (28) £29.03. Marketing authorisation numbers: Detrusitol®XL 4mg prolonged release capsules PL 0032/0287.
