Warnings
Contraindications
Urinary/gastric retention
Uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma
Hypersensitivity
Cautions
Use caution in renal impairment, geriatric patients, moderate or severe hepatic dysfunction
Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue and/or larynx reported (including with 1st dose); if involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs promptly discontinue; promptly provide appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a patent airway function
Administer with caution to patients with clinically significant bladder outflow obstruction or gastrointestinal obstructive disorders due to risk of urinary or gastric retention; use with caution in patients with conditions such as ulcerative colitis, intestinal atony, and myasthenia gravis
To administer, must carefully monitor patients with controlled narrow-angle glaucoma; benefits should outweigh risks
Somnolence reported; advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how therapy affects them
Drug substantially excreted by kidney; effects of moderate renal impairment on systemic exposure are not known but systemic exposure is likely increased; risk of anticholinergic adverse reactions (including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, urinary tract infection, and urinary retention) is expected to be greater in patients with moderate renal impairment
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy Category: C
Lactation: Excretion in mikl unknown; use with caution
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.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)

TROSPIUM - ORAL
(TROSE-pee-um)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Sanctura
USES: This medication is used to treat an overactive bladder. By relaxing the muscles in the bladder, trospium improves your ability to control your urination. 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, usually twice daily, 1 hour before a meal or on an empty stomach.Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time(s) each day. Dosage is based on your age, medical condition, and response to therapy.Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
SIDE EFFECTS: Dry mouth, constipation, stomach upset, headache, dry eyes, dizziness, blurred vision, or drowsiness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, 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 any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: eye pain, difficulty urinating, fast heartbeat, mental/mood changes (such as hallucinations, confusion).A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention 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. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about 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.

If you overheat, quickly look for a place to cool down and rest. 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 not known whether this drug passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Your doctor or pharmacist may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for them. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of: other drugs that are also removed by the kidneys (such as metformin, tenofovir, vancomycin), certain anti-Parkinson's drugs (such as trihexyphenidyl), other antimuscarinic drugs (such as dicyclomine, oxybutynin, scopolamine, tolterodine), potassium tablets/capsules, pramlintide.Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other products that cause drowsiness, including alcohol, marijuana (cannabis), certain antihistamines (such as cetirizine, diphenhydramine), drugs for sleep or anxiety (such as alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, and opioid pain relievers (such as codeine).Check the labels on all your medicines (such as allergy or cough-and-cold products) because they may contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely.This document does not contain all possible interactions. Before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use.
