Trospium chloride

개요Trospium chloride (Sanctura) is an antimuscarinic that has been used in Europe for the management of OAB symptoms for over 30 years.Trospium chloride's chemical structure is such that it is unlikely to penetrate the brain and thus does not appear to affect cognitive function. Trospium chloride is usually administered orally twice a day in 20mg. Trospium chloride should be taken 1 hour before meals or on an empty stomach. It is not well absorbed if taken with food.An advantage of this medication is that it has little potential interaction with other medications.

용도Tropine derivative with anticholinergic activity, Trospium chloride can be used as Antispasmodic and used in treatment of urinary incontinence

일반 설명Trospium chloride, 3α-benziloyloxynortropane-8-spiro-1'-pyrrolidinium chloride, (Sanctura) was available in Europe for almost 20 years before gainingapproval in the United States in May 2004. Much likeoxybutynin, it too is a competitive antagonist for muscarinicreceptors and is used to manage overactive bladder. Thequaternary amine reduces the likelihood that this agent willcross the blood-brain barrier. In addition, it has a limitedmetabolic profile, largely a result of its highly water-solublecharacteristics.
