Lactation: Unknown whether drug is distributed in breast milk; do not nurse
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
There are no available data with use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risks; in animal reproduction studies, oral administration of tolterodine and its 5-HMT metabolite to pregnant mice during organogenesis did not produce adverse developmental outcomes at doses approximately 9 to 12 times the clinical exposure at a dose of 20 mg/kg/day; however, higher doses produced adverse developmental outcomes
Lactation
There is no information on presence in human milk, effects on breastfed infant, or on milk production; based on limited data, tolterodine is excreted into milk in mice in low amounts; the development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from drug or from underlying maternal condition
Interactions
Increased risk of overdosage with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors e.g. macrolide antibiotics (erythromycin and clarithromycin), azole antifungals (e.g. ketoconazole and itraconazole), protease inhibitors, ciclosporin or vinblastine. Increased risk of torsade de pointes with drugs that prolong the QT interval (e.g. class Ia and class III antiarrhythmics). Increased risk of 'cholinergic neurogenic hypersensitivity' with centrally acting anticholinesterases (e.g. donepezil, rivastigmine). Increased risk of antimuscarinic side effects with antimuscarinic drugs.
