Medicinal Benefits of FLOTROS 60 MG TABLET ER

TROSPIUM contains Trospium used to treat overactive bladder symptoms.  TROSPIUM blocks muscarinic receptors on the muscle cells and inhibits the action of acetylcholine (a chemical messenger) that causes contraction of the bladder muscle. Thereby, TROSPIUM relaxes the involuntary muscle (detrusor) in the bladder wall and reduces unstable and involuntary contractions of the bladder and increases bladder capacity to hold urine. Thus, it decreases the need to urinate.

Directions for Use

Take TROSPIUM on empty stomach before a meal as prescribed by your doctor and swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it.
