Trospium chloride in older patients with idiopathic overactive urinary badder

Abstract

Overactive bladder (OAB) — is a clinical syndrome which includes urge urination with or without urge urinary incontinence which is usually accompanied by frequent urination and nocturia. In most cases, OAB does not pose a threat to the life of patients, but significantly worsens the quality of all spheres of human life. Urge urinary incontinence is one of the main causes of falls in older patients, which often leads to fractures of the proximal femur and is accompanied by severe complications. Drug therapy with M-cholinoblockers (cholinolytics) is the leading direction in the treatment of patients with OAB. However, this type of therapy remains poorly understood in older men and women. The choice of an effective and safe cholinolytic for older and senile patients is the subject of discussion and scientific research. The results obtained show trospium chloride as an effective drug for the treatment of urgent and frequent urination due to idiopathic OAB, as well as the lack of influence on cognitive function in older patients.
