Terodiline is a racemic compound, and its main indication was detrusor instability syndrome. With effects on detrusor muscles, terodiline was used for bladder incontinence. Terodiline has both anticholinergic and calcium antagonist properties and, as a result, effectively reduces abnormal bladder contractions caused by detrusor instability. When administered to adult patients with urge incontinence (generally as a 25mg twice-daily dose) terodiline reduces diurnal and nocturnal micturition frequency and incontinence episodes. The (R)-enantiomer of terodiline (R(+)-terodiline) can trigger cardiovascular toxicities, such as LQTS and TdP, which led to its withdrawal in 1991. Terodiline under the brand name Micturin was licensed and marketed in the United Kingdom, in 1986, for the management of a specific form of urinary incontinence, detrusor instability. It was eventually marketed in 20 other countries, mainly in Europe and Japan, but not the United States of America.
