What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Sanctura XR is a medication that helps people with an overactive bladder. It contains a substance called Trospium Chloride, which works by blocking certain receptors in the bladder. This action helps reduce the unwanted contractions of the bladder muscle, which can lead to frequent urination and a strong urge to go to the bathroom. Sanctura XR comes as an oral capsule.

Directions

Sanctura XR is a medication taken by mouth, usually once every morning. The usual Sanctura XR dosage is 60 mg per day. It’s best to take the capsule on an empty stomach, which means you should wait at least one hour before eating anything. It’s important to swallow the capsule whole without crushing, chewing, breaking, or opening it.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Sanctura XR is Trospium Chloride.

Contraindications

Avoid taking or using Sanctura XR if any of the following apply:

  • You have a known hypersensitivity to Trospium Chloride or any of the other components in Sanctura XR
  • You struggle with urinary retention, a condition in which you can't empty your bladder completely
  • You have a delayed or slow emptying of your stomach, also known as gastric retention
  • If you have narrow-angle glaucoma that isn't being managed or treated, Sanctura XR could make it worse

Cautions

  • Before starting treatment with Sanctura XR, make sure to tell your healthcare provider if you have:
    • Any existing health conditions
    • Any allergies
    • A list of all medications you are currently taking
    • Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Sanctura XR may increase the risk of urinary retention, especially in patients with bladder outflow obstruction. Talk to your doctor if you have trouble emptying your bladder before starting this medication.
  • This medication can cause angioedema, which may lead to swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. This can be life-threatening if it affects breathing. If you notice swelling in these areas, stop taking Sanctura XR and seek immediate medical help.
  • Sanctura XR may reduce digestive system movement, which can worsen conditions like intestinal blockage, ulcerative colitis, or myasthenia gravis. Speak to your doctor if you have any gastrointestinal conditions before taking this medication.
  • Sanctura XR may cause side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, or hallucinations. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how this medication affects you. If these symptoms occur, talk to your doctor about adjusting your dose or stopping the medication.
  • Sanctura XR is not recommended for people with severe kidney problems. Let your doctor know if you have kidney problems before starting this treatment.
  • Do not drink alcohol within 2 hours of taking Sanctura XR. Alcohol can increase drowsiness and other related side effects of the medication.

Side Effects

Sanctura XR is commonly associated with side effects like dry mouth, which occurred in about 11% of patients in clinical trials. Constipation was also frequently reported, affecting approximately 9% of patients. Other side effects, like dry eyes, nausea, stomach pain, and urinary tract infections, happened less often but were still more common in those taking Sanctura XR compared to those who received a placebo (a pill with no active medicine).

Although rare, Sanctura XR may cause serious side effects, including severe allergic reactions like angioedema or Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Other less common but potentially serious effects include confusion, hallucinations, and heart-related events such as palpitations and tachycardia. If you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, severe rash, or vision changes, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
