[High doses of trospium chloride in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder. Data of large-scale, multicenter observational program Resource].

PURPOSE: Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of different doses of trospium chloride in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Large-scale observational program "Resource" included 669 patients with idiopathic OAB - 359 women and 310 men. At the first visit, all patients were assigned to use of trospium chloride at a standard dose of 45 mg per day. The results of treatment were evaluated during follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks. Depending on the results of examination, the dose was reduced in the presence of adverse events and increased in case of insufficient treatment effects.

RESULTS: After 12 weeks, 102 patients have been receiving the drug at a dose of 30 mg/day, 241 - at a dose of 45 mg/day, 257 - at a dose of 60 mg/day, and 22 - at a dose of 75 mg/day.

CONCLUSIONS: Individual approach to the selection of doses of trospium chloride in patients with idiopathic OAB can be quite effective and safe measure to achieve optimal clinical outcome with a good safety profile.
