Ontario Limited Use criteria — code 290
Reason for Use code 290 For patients with urinary frequency, urgency or urge incontinence who have: Failed to respond to behavioral techniques AND an adequate trial of oxybutynin with gradual dose escalation has shown to be either ineffective or resulted in unacceptable side effects. NOTE: If after a trial of 2 weeks patients continue to experience similar side effects and no greater efficacy than oxybutynin, continued therapy with this more costly agent should be reassessed. Antimuscarinic agents should be used with caution in the elderly due to potentially serious adverse effects (e.g. confusion, psychosis, acute urinary retention, constipation). Antimuscarinic agents should be avoided in older adults with pre-existing cognitive impairment (e.g. dementia) and those who are already using other drugs with significant anticholinergic effects (e.g. tricyclic antidepressants) in order to avoid a high overall anticholinergic drug burden.

What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE DETROL (tolterodine L-tartrate tablets) is indicated for: • the symptomatic management of patients with an overactive bladder with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, or urge incontinence, or any combination of these symptoms. (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and DETAILED PHARMACOLOGY, Electrophysiology). Geriatrics (≥ 65 years of age): No overall differences were observed in safety between older (patients ≥ 65 years) and younger patients (patients < 65 years) on tolterodine immediate release tablets; and therefore, no dosage adjustment for elderly patients is recommended (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Special Populations, DETAILED PHARMACOLOGY and CLINICAL TRIALS). https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00072287.PDF PM date: not printed or not captured Source product: DETROL; DIN 02239064; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
