Hi,

Thank you for your question. The safety and effectiveness of Detrol has not been tested in children, and therefore this medication is not recommended for use in the pediatric population. I hope this answers your question.

Best of luck,

Casey

Hi, how did your daughter react to the detrol?  Did it help her and did she have any adverse reactions?  Our Dr, prescribed detrol, 2 mg for our daughter and we're concerned.  Thx

Hi I just googled detrol and children and found your post. I have a five yr. old girl who has also  been prescribed Detrol. She is taking 2mg, twice a day. It has helped her quite a lot. I was just wondering if you went ahead and gave this medication to your daughter and what your experience has been.

 

It is very hard to connect/find anyone who has a similiar issue.

 

My daughter was experiencing pretty severe urgency/frequency issues for a few months. It was not until we started this med. that we noticed a big improvement. She has been taking it since July of this yr. We are going back to the pediatric urologist next month for a follow up. I am just wondering...how long will she have to take this and is it really safe for a young growing child?

 

Thank you any info. you would like to talk about would be great.
