Trospium Chloride

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Trospium Chloride Tablets are a muscarinic antagonist indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency. Trospium Chloride Tablets are a muscarinic antagonist indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency. ( 1 )

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommended dose is 20 mg twice daily. Trospium Chloride Tablets should be dosed at least one hour before meals or given on an empty stomach. Dosage modification is recommended in the following patient populations: For patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min), the recommended dose is 20 mg once daily at bedtime [ see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS (5.5) , USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS (8.6) , and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.3) ]. In geriatric patients ≥ 75 years of age, dose may be titrated down to 20 mg once daily based upon tolerability [ see USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS (8.5) ]. The recommended dose of Trospium Chloride Tablets is one 20 mg tablet twice daily. Trospium Chloride Tablets should be dosed with water on an empty stomach, at least one hour before a meal. ( 2 ) For patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min), the recommended dose is 20 mg once daily at bedtime. ( 2 ) In geriatric patients ≥ 75 years of age, dose may be titrated down to 20 mg once daily based upon tolerability. ( 2 )

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS Trospium Chloride Tablets are contraindicated in patients with: urinary retention gastric retention uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma known hypersensitivity to the drug or its ingredients. Angioedema, rash and anaphylactic reaction have been reported. Trospium Chloride Tablets are contraindicated in patients with urinary retention, gastric retention, or uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, and in patients who are at risk for these conditions ( 4 ) patients with known hypersensitivity ( 4 )

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Trospium Chloride Tablets should be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant bladder outflow obstruction or gastrointestinal obstructive disorders due to risk of urinary or gastric retention. ( 5.1 , 5.3 ) Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue and/or larynx has been reported with trospium chloride. ( 5.2 ) In patients with controlled narrow angle glaucoma Trospium Chloride Tablets should be used only with careful monitoring. ( 5.4 ) Central Nervous System Effects: Somnolence has been reported with Trospium Chloride Tablets. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how Trospium Chloride Tablets affect them. ( 5.5 ) Trospium is substantially excreted by the kidney. The effects of moderate renal impairment on systemic exposure are not known but systemic exposure is likely increased. Therefore, the risk of anticholinergic adverse reactions is expected to be greater in patients with moderate renal impairment. ( 5.6 ) 5.1 Risk of Urinary Retention Trospium Chloride Tablets should be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant bladder outflow obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention [ see CONTRAINDICATIONS (4) ]. 5.2 Angioedema Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with trospium chloride, the active ingredient in Trospium Chloride Tablets. In one case, angioedema occurred after the first dose of trospium chloride. Angioedema associated with upper airway swelling may be life threatening. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, Trospium Chloride Tablets should be promptly discontinued and appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a patent airway should be promptly provided. 5.3 Decreased Gastrointestinal Motility Trospium Chloride Tablets should be administered with caution to patients with gastrointestinal obstructive disorders because of the risk of gastric retention [ see CONTRAINDICATIONS (4) ]. Trospium Chloride Tablets, like other antimuscarinic agents, may decrease gastrointestinal motility and should be used with caution in patients with conditions such as ulcerative colitis, intestinal atony and myasthenia gravis. 5.4 Controlled Narrow-angle Glaucoma In patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma, Trospium Chloride Tablets should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the risks and in that circumstance only with careful monitoring [ see CONTRAINDICATIONS (4) ]. 5.5 Central Nervous System Effects Trospium Chloride Tablets are associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) effects [ see ADVERSE REACTIONS (6.2) ]. A variety of CNS anticholinergic effects have been reported, including dizziness, confusion, hallucinations and somnolence. Patients should be monitored for signs of anticholinergic CNS effects, particularly after beginning treatment or increasing the dose. Advise patients not to drive or operate heavy machinery until they know how Trospium Chloride Tablets affect them. If a patient experiences anticholinergic CNS effects, dose reduction or drug discontinuation should be considered. 5.6 Anticholinergic Adverse Reactions in Patients with Moderate Renal Impairment Trospium is substantially excreted by the kidney. The effects of moderate renal impairment on systemic exposure are not known, but systemic exposure is likely increased. Therefore, anticholinergic adverse reactions (including dry mouth, constipation, dyspepsia, urinary tract infection, and urinary retention) are expected to be greater in patients with moderate renal impairment [ see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION (2) , and USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS (8.6) ].

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Concomitant use with digoxin did not affect the pharmacokinetics of either drug. ( 7.1 ) Some drugs which are actively secreted by the kidney may interact with Trospium Chloride Tablets by competing for renal tubular secretion. ( 7.2 ) Concomitant use with metformin immediate release tablets reduced exposure and peak concentration of trospium. ( 7.4 ) 7.1 Digoxin Concomitant use of Trospium Chloride Tablets and digoxin did not affect the pharmacokinetics of either drug [ see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.3) ]. 7.2 Drugs Eliminated by Active Tubular Secretion Although demonstrated in a drug-drug interaction study not to affect the pharmacokinetics of digoxin, Trospium Chloride Tablets have the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with other drugs that are eliminated by active tubular secretion (e.g., procainamide, pancuronium, morphine, vancomycin, and tenofovir). Coadministration of Trospium Chloride Tablets with these drugs may increase the serum concentration of Trospium Chloride Tablets and/or the coadministered drug due to competition for this elimination pathway. Careful patient monitoring is recommended in patients receiving such drugs [ see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.3) ]. 7.3 Antimuscarinic Agents The concomitant use of Trospium Chloride Tablets with other antimuscarinic agents that produce dry mouth, constipation, and other anticholinergic pharmacological effects may increase the frequency and/or severity of such effects. Trospium Chloride Tablets may potentially alter the absorption of some concomitantly administered drugs due to anticholinergic effects on gastrointestinal motility. 7.4 Metformin Coadministration of 500 mg metformin immediate release tablets twice daily with Trospium Chloride 60 mg Extended Release Capsules reduced the steady-state systemic exposure of trospium by approximately 29% for mean AUC 0-24 and by 34% for mean C max [ see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY (12.3) ].

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (≥ 1%) with Trospium Chloride Tablets are dry mouth (20.1%), constipation (9.6%), and headache (4.2%).

The safety of Trospium Chloride Tablets was evaluated in controlled clinical trials in a total of 2975 patients, who were treated with Trospium Chloride Tablets (N=1673), placebo (N=1056) or active control medications (N=246). Of this total, 1181 patients participated in two, 12-week, U.S., efficacy and safety studies and a 9-month open-label extension. Of this total, 591 patients received Trospium Chloride Tablets 20 mg twice daily. In all controlled trials combined, 232 and 208 patients received treatment with Trospium Chloride Tablets for at least 24 and 52 weeks, respectively. In all placebo-controlled trials combined, the incidence of serious adverse events was 2.9% among patients receiving Trospium Chloride Tablets 20 mg twice daily and 1.5% among patients receiving placebo. Table 1 lists adverse reactions from the combined 12-week U.S. safety and efficacy trials were reported by at least 1% of patients, and were reported more frequently in the Trospium Chloride Tablets group than in the placebo group. The two most common adverse reactions reported by patients receiving Trospium Chloride Tablets 20 mg twice daily were dry mouth and constipation. The single most frequently reported adverse reaction for Trospium Chloride Tablets, dry mouth, occurred in 20.1% of Trospium Chloride Tablets treated patients and 5.8% of patients receiving placebo. In the two U.S. studies, dry mouth led to discontinuation in 1.9% of patients treated with Trospium Chloride Tablets 20 mg twice daily. For the patients who reported dry mouth, most had their first occurrence of the event within the first month of treatment. Table 1: Incidence (%) of adverse reactions with Trospium Chloride Tablets, reported in ≥ 1% of all patients treated with Trospium Chloride Tablets and more frequent with Trospium Chloride Tablets (20 mg twice daily) than placebo in Studies 1 and 2 combined Adverse Reaction Placebo (N=590) Trospium Chloride Tablets 20 mg twice daily (N=591) Gastrointestinal Disorders Dry mouth 34 (5.8) 119 (20.1) Constipation 27 (4.6) 57 (9.6) Abdominal pain upper 7 (1.2) 9 (1.5) Constipation aggravated 5 (0.8) 8 (1.4) Dyspepsia 2 (0.3) 7 (1.2) Flatulence 5 (0.8) 7 (1.2) Nervous System Disorders Headache 12 (2.0) 25 (4.2) General Disorders Fatigue 8 (1.4) 11 (1.9) Renal and Urinary Disorders Urinary retention 2 (0.3) 7 (1.2) Eye Disorders Dry eyes 2 (0.3) 7 (1.2) Other adverse reactions from the U.S., placebo-controlled trials, occurring in ≥ 0.5% and < 1.0% of Trospium Chloride Tablets treated patients, and more common with Trospium Chloride Tablets than placebo are: tachycardia, vision blurred, abdominal distension, vomiting, dysgeusia, dry throat, and dry skin. During controlled clinical studies, one adverse reaction of angioneurotic edema was reported. 6.2 Post-marketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of trospium chloride. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Gastrointestinal – gastritis; Cardiovascular – palpitations, supraventricular tachycardia, chest pain, syncope, "hypertensive crisis"; Immunological – Stevens-Johnson syndrome, anaphylactic reaction, angioedema; Nervous System – dizziness, confusion, vision abnormal, hallucinations, somnolence and delirium; Musculoskeletal – rhabdomyolysis; General – rash.

8.1 Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects Pregnancy Category C: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Trospium Chloride Tablets in pregnant women. Trospium Chloride Tablets should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the risk to the patient and fetus. Women who become pregnant during Trospium Chloride Tablets treatment are encouraged to contact their physician. Risk Summary Based on animal data, trospium chloride is predicted to have a low probability of increased risk of adverse developmental outcomes, above background risk. Adverse developmental findings were not observed to correlate with dose in rats or in rabbits. No increased risk above background was observed in rats and rabbits treated at an exposure approximately equivalent to the maximal recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg. Animal Data In a rat embryo/fetal development study, pregnant rats received doses of trospium chloride up to 200 mg/kg/day, from implantation to closure of the fetal hard palate, with maternal systemic exposures corresponding to approximately nine times the exposure of women treated at the MRHD of 40 mg, based on AUC. No malformations or fetal toxicity were observed. The offspring of female rats exposed orally, pre- and post-natally, to trospium chloride up to 200 mg/kg/day showed no increased developmental toxicity over background in surviving pups. However, maternal toxicity (death, irregular breathing, increased excitability) was observed at 200 mg/kg/day. A no-effect level for maternal and pup toxicity (survival to Day 4) was 20 mg/kg/day, an exposure approximately equivalent to the maximal recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg. In a rabbit embryo/fetal development study, pregnant rabbits received doses of trospium chloride up to 200 mg/kg/day, from implantation to closure of the fetal hard palate. At 200 mg/kg/day, maternal systemic exposures corresponded to approximately 16 times the exposure of women treated at the MRHD of 40 mg, based on AUC. However, one fetus in each of the three treated dose groups (0.3 to 16 times exposures at the MRHD) demonstrated multiple malformations, including umbilical hernia and skeletal malformations. A maternal no-effect level was set at 20 mg/kg/day, at an exposure approximately equivalent to the maximal recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg, due to clinical signs (reduced feces, hunched posture, diarrhea) observed in a pharmacokinetic study at 200 mg/kg/day.
