How Sanctura Xr Affects Patients

Trospium is a drug used to treat overactive bladder. It works by blocking signals from the nerve cells which control the bladder muscles, making them relax. Compared to other similar drugs, it binds more strongly to the nerve cells that control bladder muscles, making it more effective.

How Sanctura Xr works in the body

Trospium works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a chemical that relaxes certain muscles. This allows it to reduce the tension of bladder muscles, helping with certain bladder issues.

Sanctura Xr for Needing to Urinate Immediately

This medication has been a godsend for me. I'm 20 years old and have neuropathy as a result of diabetes. My doctor says that due to the neuropathy, I am unable to relax my bladder in order to empty it, resulting in having to go every 2 hours, 24/7. The bad side-effects are dry mouth, throat, eyes & not being able to speak in the morning for 3 hours. However, drinking more water helps & taking every other day keeps the non-speaking days away. Still continues to work & I can finally get some sleep!

Sanctura Xr for Overactive Bladder

After my radiation treatment for colon cancer, I had a lot of trouble going to the bathroom. This led to kidney problems and near failure. Flomax helped with the swelling, but then I was wetting myself all the time because I couldn't control my urine flow. Sanctura has helped with that, but now I have no muscle control at all when I urinate.

Sanctura Xr for Overactive Bladder

Sanctura XR has helped me a lot. I no longer have to worry about accidents in public places. The downside is that it doesn't work all the time, and when it stops working I have to go off of it for a while. Dry mouth gets better over time, but my nose dries out. The side effects are much better than the symptoms, so I'll take it.

Sanctura Xr for Frequent Urination

I've been using this medication for about 2 1/2 weeks now. When I started, I was going to the restroom 12-15 times per day, but now it's more like 7-10. The only downside is that I've noticed some stomach cramping and bloating; hopefully, those symptoms will go away soon.

Sanctura Xr for Frequent Urination

After two TURP operations, this drug helped me a great deal with my constipation problem. However, I experienced some bothersome side effects like stomach pain, dry mouth and itchy eyes. Because of the bad constipation, I decided to stop taking the drug.

Sanctura Xr for Frequent Urination

I've only been on this medication for two weeks. While it has decreased my need to urinate, the side effects of dry mouth, dry nose and constipation are not worth it.

Unfortunately, this medication made me feel really sick. I had a headache (which is rare for me), felt shaky and nauseous. If you're considering taking this, just know that it might not be the right fit for everyone.

Sanctura Xr for Overactive Bladder

I started taking this medication because vesicare was too expensive. Unfortunately, side effects began almost immediately. I have no appetite whatsoever and am constantly either vomiting from eating or not eating. My skin is becoming leathery, and it has exacerbated my GERD to the point where my medications are completely ineffective. My last visit to the urologist was a disaster, so now I'm looking to get off this medication on my own.

Detrusor Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation for Overactive Bladder

22 - 80
Female
Palo Alto, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a vaginal radiofrequency (RF) device called MORPHEUSV works to treat overactive bladder (OAB) in women. Researchers also want to learn how safe the device is for this indication. This study will include women ages 22 to 80 who have had OAB symptoms for at least 6 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the MORPHEUSV device lower the number of daily episodes of accidental urine leakage caused by urgency? Does it work better than a sham (placebo) treatment? Researchers will compare the MORPHEUSV device to a sham treatment to see how well it reduces symptoms of overactive bladder. Participants will: 1) Receive one session of either the MORPHEUSV or sham treatment. 2) Track their symptoms using a diary and questionnaires 3) Return for three to six follow-up visits over 12 months. This study is being conducted at multiple clinics in the United States.

Extended Release Torsemide for Overactive Bladder in Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
Dallas, TX

This research study is being done to compare the effectiveness two drugs: an extended release torsemide (ERT) versus generic immediate release Torsemide (IRT) in reducing the worsening of symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB i.e., frequency, urgency, or urgency incontinence) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). This study will include CHF patients who experience worsening OAB) symptoms with use of a loop diuretic. The total duration of the study is about eight weeks with a total of nine visits. There will be a screening visit that lasts one to two hours. The screening visit includes history and physical exams, blood draws, and urine analysis. If eligible for the study, participants will receive either generic torsemide or extended release torsemide for the first four weeks. Participants will do a virtual research visit on week one, two and three to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At four weeks, history and physician exam will be done and blood will be collected. Participants will be assigned to receive either extended release torsemide (if they initially received generic torsemide) and generic torsemide (if they initially received extended release torsemide) for the next four weeks. Participants will attend virtual research visits on week five, six and seven to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At the end of the study in week eight, they will have history and physical exams and blood draws. Some risks from the study may include side effects of torsemide like acute kidney injury, fluid/electrolyte loss, hypersensitivity reactions and reversible hearing loss/tinnitus.
