How Sanctura Affects Patients

Trospium is a drug used to treat overactive bladder, which can cause sudden urges to urinate and frequent trips to the bathroom. It works by blocking activity in the muscles that control the bladder. Compared to other drugs, Trospium has a higher affinity for muscle receptors, meaning it will be more effective at lower doses.

How Sanctura works in the body

Trospium works against the effects of the chemical acetylcholine on the body. It relaxes the muscles of the bladder to reduce its tension.

Sanctura for Overactive Bladder

I've been taking Sanctura for a little over a week now and it seems to be working. I'm not thrilled about the soreness I're feeling in my groin area, but hopefully that will go away with time.

Sanctura for Overactive Bladder

I've tried Sanctura for several years now, and it's never really helped me. I had two bladder sling surgeries but the leakage has never stopped. So, I guess I'll have to wear pads for the rest of my life. Enablex didn't work because I was allergic to it; Toviaz seemed effective but made me gain weight quickly and feel constipated and uncomfortable. Next, I'm going to try Ditropan.

Sanctura for Overactive Bladder

This medication finally provided relief when other commonly prescribed options failed. The side effects of dry mouth and blurry vision were a bit of a problem, especially in the morning. I'm going to try taking this med at night and see if it is better. Either way, those side effects are still preferable to having accidents.

Sanctura for Overactive Bladder

This medication has worked wonders for me. I no longer have to wear pads due to my Oab problem. The only downside is that I experience a dry mouth, but it's a small price to pay for the relief this drug has given me.

Detrol caused me some constipation problems so I decided to give this a try. The results were better than nothing, though not great. I also didn't experience any negative side effects, which was nice.

Sanctura for Overactive Bladder

I've only been taking this for a week to address my OAB/IC. However, I began having severe abdominal bloating and pain the second day of useage. This has been an every day occurrence since then. I'm not sure if I can continue down this treatment path much longer.

Sanctura for Overactive Bladder

This medication helped me be able to sleep through the night without having to urinate constantly. The only downside has been some gas and constipation, but drinking lots of water and eating fiber seems to help with that.

Sanctura for Urine Leakage When there is a Strong Desire to Void

Of all the medication I've tried, this one seems to work best. However, it is very expensive and not covered by my insurance.

Sanctura for Overactive Bladder

Sanctura has helped me to urinate less frequently and with less pressure, however the side effects are pretty harsh. I'm debating whether or not the benefits are worth it.

Sanctura for Frequent Urination

I was recommended by my doctor to take this medication once daily for six weeks, in order to accurately gauge its effectiveness. After only three and a half weeks, I've already found it to be helpful; I'm using the restroom much less frequently than before. Additionally, while it does cause me to have a dry mouth, that's also been beneficial in a sense as it encourages me to drink more water - something which I know is good for my health but haven't always made a habit of doing.

Sanctura for Overactive Bladder

I experienced some serious side effects after starting Sanctura that weren't reported by the manufacturer. I gained fifteen pounds, felt fatigue and muscle pain, and needed to lie down every two hours. These symptoms were new since starting the medication. While it did help with my depression, the trade-off wasn't worth it.

Sanctura for Needing to Urinate Immediately

I've been on this medication for a while now, and at first it seemed to help a little. But then my doctor added Gelnique, which helped even less. Now I feel like I'm back at square one. Nothing is working, and I'm only 49 years old.

I experienced a lot of stomach pain and discomfort while taking this medication. Additionally, I dealt with burning sensations coming from my vagina. The side effects were too much for me, so I stopped taking the medication.

Clinical Trials for Sanctura

Nitrous Oxide for Pain During Bladder Botox Injections

18+
Female
Cincinnati, OH

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if a mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen can improve pain control during bladder Botox injections. The primary question it aims to answer is: Does using nitrous oxide lower the overall level of pain during the procedure? Researchers will compare a 50:50 nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture (administered with the Pro-Nox system) plus standard care (with lidocaine in the bladder) to sham mask plus standard care to see if nitrous oxide works better for lowering pain. Participants will: * Receive their bladder Botox injection in the office setting * Either use nitrous oxide/oxygen plus standard care during the procedure, or sham mask plus standard care * Answer brief questions about pain, anxiety, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the procedure
