Torq Sr 4 Capsule 30

Torq-SR 4 Capsule is beneficial for the following conditions:

• Management of overactive bladder symptoms

• Reduction of urinary urgency, which is a sudden, strong need to urinate

• Decreasing urinary frequency, meaning the need to urinate more often than usual

• Control of urge incontinence, causing involuntary leakage of urine due to not reaching the toilet in time

Here's how you should use Torq-SR 4 Capsule:

• Swallow the capsule whole with water.

• Avoid opening, chewing or crushing the capsule as it is designed to release the medicine slowly into your system.

• Try to take the medicine at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness.

Torq-SR 4 Capsule is taken orally.

Torq-SR 4 Capsule contains tolterodine (4 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Muscarinic Receptor Antagonist: Tolterodine acts by blocking acetylcholine receptors on the bladder muscle. This prevents involuntary contractions of these muscles.

• Relaxation of Detrusor Muscle: By inhibiting the action of acetylcholine on the bladder muscle, Tolterodine helps relax this muscle called the detrusor muscle. This allows your bladder to fill more fully and store urine better.

• Specific Action: Tolterodine specifically targets muscarinic receptors without significantly affecting other cell receptors and targets. This ensures that its action is primarily focused on managing overactive bladder symptoms.

• Metabolisation: After oral administration, Tolterodine is metabolised extensively in your liver, mainly by an enzyme called cytochrome P450 2D6 into an active metabolite. This metabolite also contributes to the therapeutic effect of the medicine.

• Store the Torq-SR 4 Capsule in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C.

• Protect this medicine from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Keep it out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date before using the Torq-SR 4 Capsule.

• To better manage overactive bladder symptoms, try to limit caffeine intake as it can irritate your bladder and increase urgency.

• Regularly practice pelvic floor exercises (also known as Kegel exercises) to strengthen bladder muscles and improve control.
