Isn't the incontinence drug called terodiline? I think this drug
recently came out in Canada.
I misspelt the drug's name. It was terodiline (not terolidine) and I
believe it has been pulled from the world market. I believe the drug you
referred to is tolterodine which is structurally similar to terodiline
and currently marketed in the U.S. and other countries for the treatment
of overactive bladder.
My apologies for any confusion.
