What class of drug is Tolra 2mg Capsule ER? Is it a diuretic?
Tolra 2mg Capsule ER belongs to a class of medicines known as muscarinic receptor blockers. Tolra 2mg Capsule ER is not a diuretic, it is a urinary antispasmodic. This means that it relaxes the urinary bladder, decreasing spasm of the bladder wall. This further provides better control upon the release of urine and also increases storage volume of the bladder.
