[High doses of trospium chloride in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder. Data of large-scale, multicenter observational program Resource].

PURPOSE: Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of different doses of trospium chloride in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Large-scale observational program "Resource" included 669 patients with idiopathic OAB - 359 women and 310 men. At the first visit, all patients were assigned to use of trospium chloride at a standard dose of 45 mg per day. The results of treatment were evaluated during follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks. Depending on the results of examination, the dose was reduced in the presence of adverse events and increased in case of insufficient treatment effects.

RESULTS

After 12 weeks, 102 patients have been receiving the drug at a dose of 30 mg/day, 241 - at a dose of 45 mg/day, 257 - at a dose of 60 mg/day, and 22 - at a dose of 75 mg/day.

CONCLUSIONS

Individual approach to the selection of doses of trospium chloride in patients with idiopathic OAB can be quite effective and safe measure to achieve optimal clinical outcome with a good safety profile.
