SANCTURA vs TOLTERODINE
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Trospium chloride is an antimuscarinic agent that competitively inhibits acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors, thereby reducing detrusor muscle contractions and increasing bladder capacity.
Competitive antagonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5), with selectivity for the M3 receptor subtype involved in detrusor muscle contraction, reducing bladder smooth muscle contractility and increasing bladder capacity.
20 mg orally twice daily, with or without food. Maximum dose 20 mg twice daily.
2 mg PO twice daily; may reduce to 1 mg twice daily if tolerated.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12–20 hours in healthy adults, allowing twice-daily dosing.
Clinical Note
moderateTolterodine + Sulfisoxazole
"The metabolism of Sulfisoxazole can be decreased when combined with Tolterodine."
Clinical Note
moderateTolterodine + Cyclosporine
"The metabolism of Cyclosporine can be decreased when combined with Tolterodine."
Clinical Note
moderateTolterodine + Fluconazole
"The metabolism of Fluconazole can be decreased when combined with Tolterodine."
Clinical Note
moderateTolterodine + Clotrimazole
Terminal elimination half-life is 2-4 hours in extensive CYP2D6 metabolizers; increased to 4-10 hours in poor metabolizers or with CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Primarily renal (approximately 60% as unchanged drug and metabolites); biliary/fecal elimination accounts for ~30%.
Primarily hepatic metabolism via CYP2D6 and CYP3A4; renal excretion accounts for <5% of unchanged drug; ~80% excreted in urine as metabolites, ~20% in feces.
