Renal impaiment in children > 3 months

6 mnd-10 years:

  • GFR ≥ 30: No dose adjustment needed
  • GFR 10-30: 50% of normal reversal dose, max 1 mg/day, interval between 2 doses: 12 hours.
  • GFR <10: general advice is not given.

10-18 years:

  • GFR ≥ 30: no dose adjustment needed
  • GFR 10-30: 50% of normal reversal dose, max 2 mg/day, interval between 2 doses: 12 hours.
  • GFR <10: general advice is not given
Clinical consequences

With severely impaired renal function, the AUC of tolterodine and its pharmacologically active 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite may increase. This increases the risk of adverse reactions.

Clinical implications:
Dose-dependent adverse reactions due to the pharmacological effect include dry mouth, dry eyes, abnormal accommodation, vision disturbances, dry skin, constipation, urinary retention, tachycardia, and palpitations. Prolongation of the QTc interval has been reported at high doses.
