              Pharmacology

              Mechanism of Action

              Reduces the smooth muscle tone of the bladder by antagonizing the effects of acetyl choline on muscarinic receptors.

              Pharmacokinetics

              Absorption: <10%; reduced when administered with high-fat meal

              Half-life: 20 hr (immediate release)

              Peak plasma time: 5-6 hr

              Protein bound: 45-85%

              Metabolism: Not fully elucidated; major pathway is thought to be ester hydrolysis followed by glucuronide conjugation of benzylic acid

              Renal clearance: 29.07 L/hr

              Excretion: Feces (85.2%); urine (5.8% with 60% unchanged drug)

It helps to reduce leaking of urine, feelings of needing to urinate right away, and frequent trips to the bathroom. Trospium belongs to a class of drugs known as antispasmodics. It is also known as an antimuscarinic.

              HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before a meal) as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. The dosage is based on your age, medical condition, and response to treatment.Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it.

              SIDE EFFECTS: Dry mouth, constipation, stomach upset, headache, dry eyes, dizziness, blurred vision, or drowsiness may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.To relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water or use a saliva substitute.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: eye pain, difficulty urinating, fast heartbeat, mental/mood changes (such as hallucinations, confusion).A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects.

You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

              PRECAUTIONS: Before taking trospium, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: glaucoma, kidney disease, liver disease, stomach/intestinal problems (such as blockage, constipation, ulcerative colitis), myasthenia gravis, inability to urinate (urinary retention).This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy or blur your vision. Alcohol or marijuana (cannabis) can make you more dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs alertness or clear vision until you can do it safely. Limit alcoholic beverages. Talk to your doctor if you are using marijuana (cannabis).This medication may make you sweat less, making you more likely to get heat stroke.

Get medical help right away if you have a fever that does not go away, mental/mood changes, headache, or dizziness.Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially constipation, dry mouth, drowsiness, confusion, or trouble urinating. Drowsiness and confusion can increase the risk of falling.During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.It is unknown if this drug passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

              DRUG INTERACTIONS: Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions.
