ROLITEN 2 MG – 10 TABLET

ROLITEN 2 MG is a prescription medication that helps control an overactive bladder, a condition characterized by frequent urination, sudden urges to urinate, and urinary incontinence. The active ingredient, Tolterodine, is an antimuscarinic agent that works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes bladder muscle contractions. By inhibiting these contractions, ROLITEN 2 MG reduces the symptoms of urgency, frequency, and leakage.

Usage Instructions:
