A new sensitive, simple, rapid and precise reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) and a spectrophotometric method has been developed for estimation of tolterodine in tablet dosage form. Chromatography was performed by using the mobile phase, Potassium Phosphate pH 4.5 and acetonitrile mixed by a low pressure gradient program. Hypersil BDS C18 column was used. The waveleng...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of intermittent percutaneous needle sacral nerve stimulation (IPN-SNS) in women with idiopathic overactive bladder (IOAB) treated with tolterodine. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 240 female patients diagnosed with IOAB were randomized to receive tolterodine only treatment (group 1, n = 120) or tolterodine combined with IPN-SNS (group 2, n = 120). Each group ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies demonstrate that tolterodine extended release (ER) significantly improves urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) episodes. Instruments that measure patient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide additional information that is valuable for assessing whether clinical improvements are meaningful to the patient. This study determined the correlation of changes in bladder diary var...

PURPOSE To investigate whether combination treatment using an α-blocker and 2 mg of tolterodine could improve the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) as much as α-blocker and 4 mg of tolterodine without voiding difficulties in real life practice. METHODS We restrospectively recruited patients who were treated at four urology clinics between January 2006 and May 2008. A total of 1,094 ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the tolerability of tolterodine extended release (ER) in older subjects with overactive bladder (OAB). METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of pooled data from five large, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. Subjects with OAB symptoms, including urinary frequency and urgency (and nocturia in two studies) with or without urgency urinary incontine...

PURPOSE This randomized blinded clinical study was designed to compare the efficacy of tolterodine treatment combined with behavioral modification, behavioral modification alone and behavioral modification plus placebo in children with nonneurogenic, nonanatomical voiding dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 72 children meeting inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 gro...

Several therapeutic options have been described for children with nocturnal enuresis, but still their efficacy and outcomes are controversial. This study compares the combined Desmopressin and Tolterodine efficacy versus Desmopressin alone efficacy in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis. One hundred children 5-16 years old with nocturnal enuresis were enrolled in a randomized trial study and we...

tolterodine tartrate, is a new, potent and competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist in clinical development for the treatment of urge incontinence and other symptoms of unstable bladder. the purpose of this study is to establish a reliable and quick method for the assignment of tolterodine tartrate by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (hplc-uv). a rapid and sen...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a new extended-release (XL) formulation of oxybutynin relative to tolterodine immediate release (IR), currently the most prescribed treatment for overactive bladder in the UK. METHODS A state-transition model was developed to compare outcomes over 1 year. Effectiveness and treatment persistence data were derived from the OBJECT (Overactive Bladd...

BACKGROUND The medium-to-long-term use of antimuscarinics alone or in combination with an α-blocker in men with an enlarged prostate is still controversial. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of medium-to-long-term use of tolterodine extended release (ER) with or without tamsulosin in patients with benign prostate hyperp...
