How UROTEL XL 4MG CAPSULE Works

UROTEL XL 4MG CAPSULE belongs to a class of medications called antimuscarinics. It works by blocking specific chemical receptors on the surface of the bladder muscle. Normally, when these receptors receive chemical signals, they tell the bladder muscle to squeeze, which creates the urge to urinate.By blocking these signals, the medication helps prevent the bladder muscle from contracting too early or too suddenly. This allows your bladder to hold more urine before you feel the need to go, effectively reducing sudden urges and frequent bathroom trips.
