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.

An Introduction to Side Effects of Trospium XR

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with trospium XR (Sanctura® XR). However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. 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.
