I just did my mail-order refill of Detrol LA, and my CVS/Caremark pharmacy automatically changed it to the new Generic, "Tolterodine 4MG ER Cap". I've often not liked generics (sometimes the inactive ingredients matter) - so in doing some more searching, I found that the Detrol people finally had to let go of their patent, Mylan began selling in Jan 2014, so my Rx has been automatically changed.

My doctor put me on Detrol LA upon failure of oxybutynin, but now my new insurance needs proof that two meds have failed - one oxybutynin, and the other I can't remember.

Well, there is no current generic for the Detrol LA, from the approval time line, that probably won't become available until after September 2012.

The only alternative medication that I can find that is available as a generic would be Ditropan XL, which contains the active ingredient Oxybutynin.

Are there any other questions?
