Overview
Toviaz 8mg Prolonged-Release Tablet contains fesoterodine, an antimuscarinic medicine used to treat the symptoms of overactive bladder, including urinary urgency, increased urinary frequency, and urge incontinence.
Fesoterodine works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder muscle, which reduces involuntary bladder muscle contractions and increases bladder capacity, helping to reduce the sudden, strong urge to urinate.
How it Works
Toviaz is converted in the body to its active form, which selectively blocks muscarinic receptors on the bladder muscle; this reduces involuntary contractions of the bladder wall, allowing it to hold more urine before the urge to void is triggered.
Directions for Use
Take once daily with liquid, with or without food, and swallow the tablet whole – do not crush, break, or chew, as this is a prolonged-release formulation.
Dosage
The usual dose is one 4mg tablet once daily, which your doctor may increase to 8mg once daily based on your response and tolerability; the maximum recommended dose is 8mg once daily.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
