Trospium chloride is a muscarinic antagonist used to treat overactive bladder.[2] It has side effects typical of this class of drugs, namely dry mouth, stomach upset, and constipation; these side effects cause problems with people taking their medicine as directed. However it doesn't cause central nervous system side effects like some other muscarinic antagonists.[3] It is in pregnancy category C and is excreted in breast milk.[4]
Chemically it is a quaternary ammonium cation which causes it to stay in periphery rather than crossing the blood–brain barrier.[5] It works by causing the smooth muscle in the bladder to relax.[2]
It was patented in 1966 and approved for medical use in 1974.[6] It was first approved in the US in 2004, and an extended release version with once-daily dosing was brought to market in 2007. It became generic in Europe in 2009 and in the US the first extended-release generic was approved in 2012.
