Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Urotense Tablet is to be taken on an empty stomach.

How Urotense Tablet works

Urotense Tablet works by activating specific receptors called muscarinic receptors, which are part of the body's nervous system. These receptors send signals to the bladder, helping it squeeze and push urine out. Urotense Tablet is useful for people who have trouble urinating due to nerve-related issues, surgery, or certain medical conditions.

What if I forget to take a dose of Urotense Tablet?

If you miss a dose and remember within an hour of the scheduled dose, then you can take the dose. If, however, the gap is more than two or more hours, then do not take the medicine and wait until the next dose is due. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.

Is Urotense Tablet an anticholinergic?
