For Urinary Frequency "I have been on Sanctura, and then on the generic Trospium Cl 60 mg ER for about 10 years. It helps a lot with alleviating frequent urination, urge and stress incontinence, and nocturia (nighttime urination). I still have to get up once or twice at night, but not nearly the frequency of about 6 times per night before I started this medication in the extended-release form. The only side effects have been a chronic dry throat and sometimes dry eyes. Now all my local pharmacies suddenly have it on back order, which disturbs me. I am left with a one-month supply because they could not fill my doctor's order for a 90-day supply. It is supposed to come back soon, but it is worrisome that it may not. So I am now investigating alternative meds and also have enrolled in physical therapy for the pelvic floor, which is supposed to help."

For Urinary Incontinence "I’m a 68 y.o. female. I’ve been taking trospium for almost a month now. I have experienced very dry mouth and dry eyes, both of which have gone away. This trospium has not been helpful as I still have to get up during the night, and I’m still having leakage. The frequency has subsided. I’m going to try a more aggressive solution next."

For Urinary Incontinence "This pill has helped with leakage, but the dry eyes and mouth have gotten worse. I have developed a thrush from the over-dry mouth and think I'm going to have to go off this pill."
