TORQ SR 2MG TABLET 30'S

How TORQ SR 2MG TABLET 30'S Works

• TORQ SR 2MG TABLET 30'S contains Tolterodine, an antimuscarinic medication that primarily targets overactive bladder symptoms. It works by selectively blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder. These receptors are responsible for mediating bladder muscle contractions. By blocking these receptors, Tolterodine reduces the urge to urinate frequently and uncontrollably, effectively managing the symptoms of an overactive bladder.
• Specifically, Tolterodine's action focuses on the M3 muscarinic receptor subtype, which is predominantly found in the bladder. When the bladder fills, nerve signals trigger these receptors, leading to bladder muscle contraction and the sensation of needing to urinate. In individuals with overactive bladder, these signals can be erratic or overly sensitive, resulting in frequent and urgent urination.
• TORQ SR 2MG TABLET 30'S helps to normalize bladder function by reducing the excessive stimulation of these receptors. This allows the bladder to fill more completely before the urge to urinate arises, reducing the frequency of urination and decreasing the incidence of urge incontinence (involuntary urine leakage associated with a sudden, strong urge to urinate). The 'SR' in the name indicates 'sustained release,' meaning the medication is released slowly over time, providing a consistent level of Tolterodine in the bloodstream for prolonged relief from overactive bladder symptoms. This sustained release mechanism helps in reducing the dosing frequency and improving patient compliance. It's crucial to take TORQ SR 2MG TABLET 30'S as prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.
