When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Tolterodine undergoes biotransformation in the liver of extensive metabolizers to an active metabolite. Poor metabolizers have a greater concentration of active parent and less active metabolite, however the net activity of tolterodine is expected to be the same. The pharmacokinetic disposition of tolterodine can be significantly altered in patients with hepatic dysfunction. Therapy with tolterodine should be administered cautiously in patients with severe hepatic impairment and dosage should be reduced to no greater than 1 mg twice daily.
