Do I get the original Detrol?
No. SGMeds ships a generic with the same active ingredient (tolterodine) at the strength you choose, not the original Detrol made by Pfizer. We use the brand name so you can find the medicine, and the generic's manufacturer varies with stock.

Detrol comes in 1 and 2mg strengths, in packs of 10 to 360 tablets. Each option's price is shown on this page in Singapore dollars, converted from US dollars, so the exchange rate can change the final amount. Larger packs work out cheaper per tablet.
