Trospium is commonly prescribed for the treatment of the following conditions:

Overactive Bladder (OAB): Overactive bladder is a condition characterized by a sudden and uncontrollable urge to urinate, often resulting in frequent urination and in some cases, urinary incontinence. Trospium helps relax the bladder muscles and reduce these OAB symptoms, providing relief to individuals with the condition.

While using trospium, some individuals may experience side effects, although not everyone will.

Mild side effects may include:

• Dry mouth
  
• Dry skin
  
• Constipation
  
• Upset stomach
  
• Gas
  
• Blurred vision
  
• Headache
  
• Fatigue
  
  

More severe side effects are rare but may include:

• Difficulty urinating
  
• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness)
  
• Rapid heartbeat
  
• Confusion or hallucinations
  
  

It's important to promptly report any side effects or concerns to your healthcare provider.

Before starting treatment with trospium, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, as they may interact with trospium.

Specifically, discuss any history of:

• Kidney problems
  
• Liver problems
  
• Gastrointestinal disorders (like ulcerative colitis)
  
• Prostate conditions (like benign prostate hyperplasia)
  
• Narrow-angle glaucoma

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using trospium to assess potential risks and benefits.

The recommended dosage of trospium may vary depending on the specific condition being treated, individual factors, and your healthcare provider's guidance. It is typically taken orally in tablet form.

For the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, the usual dosing regimen often involves taking trospium once or twice daily. However, your healthcare provider may adjust the dosage based on your response and individual needs. It should be taken 1 hour prior to meals, on an empty stomach.

Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing and other recommendations for taking trospium. Do not discontinue or alter your dosage without consulting your doctor, as this can affect the medication's effectiveness.

Store trospium as directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Proper storage is essential to maintain the medication's effectiveness. Typically, trospium should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, light, and moisture.

Keep the medication out of the reach of children and ensure that the container is tightly closed.

Trospium is available by prescription only. A licensed healthcare provider must authorize the use of this medication.
