Side Effects of Trospium XR

Although most people do not experience any problems while taking trospium XR, side effects may occur. The most common side effects of trospium XR include a dry mouth, constipation, and bladder infections. In most cases, the side effects are minor and either don't require treatment or can easily be treated. There are, however, some side effects that may be potentially serious (such as severe constipation, difficulty passing urine, and allergic reactions) and should be reported immediately to a healthcare provider.

If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
