Safely Buy Sanctura XR ( Trospium Chloride ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.
Indications
Sanctura XR is a medication used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) and its associated symptoms, such as urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency.
Sanctura XR belongs to a class of drugs known as antispasmodics or antimuscarinics.
By relaxing the muscles in the bladder, Sanctura XR improves the individual’s ability to control urination and helps reduce the leaking of urine, the feeling of needing to urinate right away, and frequent trips to the bathroom.
Use and Dosage
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using trospium and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before a meal) as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.
Swallow the capsule whole. Do not crush or chew the capsule. Also, avoid drinking alcohol or taking any product containing alcohol for 2 hours before and after taking this medication. Alcohol can destroy the long action of the drug and may increase side effects.
If you cannot swallow the capsule, you may open the capsule and place the beads in a small amount of water or directly onto the tongue. Do not crush or chew the beads because doing so may cause the drug to be released too quickly, increasing side effects. Swallow all the beads right away.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.
