Introduction to Trofame 60mg Capsule
Trofame 60mg capsule contains active components like Trospium chloride. It is a medication used to treat the symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB). Overactive bladder is a condition in which the bladder muscles contract uncontrollably and cause frequent urination, urgent need to urinate, and sometimes, loss of control over urination. This medication can help to improve bladder control by reducing the number of times you feel the urge to urinate. This can make it easier to hold your urine until you reach a toilet. It can treat other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic constipation.
Trofame 60mg capsule is contraindicated in people with a history of any hypersensitivity to it or to any of its ingredients. It should not be used in people with urinary retention, a condition in which the bladder cannot empty completely. It should also not be taken in cases of glaucoma as it can worsen the symptoms of glaucoma, an eye condition that can damage the optic nerve. It should be used cautiously in people with heart disease, as it can slow down the heart rate.
