Therapeutic indications

Symptomatic treatment of urge incontinence and/or increased urinary frequency and urgency as may occur in patients with overactive bladder.

Posology and method of administration

One capsule once daily (equivalent to 60 mg of trospium chloride per day).

Regurin XL 60 mg should be taken with water on an empty stomach at least one hour before a meal.

Renal impairment

Data on the use of Regurin XL 60 mg are not available for patients with renal impairment. Trospium chloride is mainly excreted unchanged by the kidneys. An increase in plasma levels is documented for the immediate release formulation. For the prolonged release formulation an appropriate level of dose adjustment is not known for renally impaired patients and the product is therefore not recommended for use in renally impaired patients (see section 4.4 and 5.2).

Hepatic impairment

Data on patients with mild and moderate impairment of liver function are only available for the immediate release formulation of trospium chloride, but not for the prolonged release formulation. These patients should be treated with caution. Regurin XR 60 mg should not be given to patients with severe hepatic impairment (see section 4.4 and 5.2).

The need for continued treatment should be reassessed at regular intervals of 3-6 months.

Regurin XL 60 mg is not recommended for use in children and adolescents below 18 years due to lack of data on safety and efficacy.

Overdose

After administration of a maximum single dose of 360 mg trospium chloride as immediate release preparation to healthy volunteers, dryness of the mouth, tachycardia and disorders of micturition were observed to an increased extent. No manifestations of severe overdose or intoxication in humans have been reported to date. Exaggerated anticholinergic symptoms are to be expected as signs of intoxication following administration of trospium chloride as an extended release preparation as well.

In the case of intoxication the following measures should be taken:

  • gastric lavage and reduction of absorption (e.g. activated charcoal)
  • local administration of pilocarpine to glaucoma patients
  • catheterisation in patients with urinary retention
  • treatment with a parasympathomimetic agent (e.g. neostigmine) in the case of severe symptoms
  • administration of beta blockers in the case of insufficient response, pronounced tachycardia and/or circulatory instability (e.g. initially 1 mg propranolol intravenously along with monitoring of ECG and blood pressure).
