Treatment of overactive bladder symptoms (frequency, urgency, etc.)
This medication is used for the treatment of symptoms of overactive bladder such as urinary incontinence, frequent urination, and urgency.
The usual recommended dose for adults (including older adults) is 5mg once daily. If necessary, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 10mg once daily. This drug may be taken with or without food and should be swallowed whole with water. Dosage adjustment is required for the following patients. 1. Patients with renal impairment: No dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance>30ml/min). Caution is required in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance≤30ml/min), and the dose should not exceed 5mg once daily. 2. Patients with hepatic impairment: No dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with mild hepatic impairment. Caution is required in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B), and the dose should not exceed 5mg once daily. 3. Patients taking strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors: For patients taking ketoconazole or another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor (e.g., ritonavir, nelfinavir, itraconazole), limit the maximum daily dose to 5mg.
This medication should not be used by patients with urinary retention symptoms or certain serious conditions such as severe gastrointestinal disorders, myasthenia gravis, and narrow-angle glaucoma. Additionally, patients who are allergic to any component of this medication or those undergoing hemodialysis, as well as patients with severe liver or kidney impairment, should not receive this treatment. Caution should be exercised in patients at risk of urinary retention, those with gastrointestinal obstructive disease, severe kidney impairment, and moderate liver impairment. Dose adjustments are needed when taken in conjunction with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Side effects may include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention, and dry eyes, with dry mouth and constipation occurring more frequently at higher doses. Rarely, severe allergic reactions such as angioedema and anaphylaxis may occur; if such symptoms arise, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. This medication may cause drowsiness or blurred vision, caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Concomitant use with other anticholinergic medications may intensify effects or exacerbate side effects, and the efficacy of gastrointestinal motility-promoting drugs may be reduced. As this medication is metabolized by certain enzymes (CYP3A4) in the liver, taking it with drugs that strongly inhibit this enzyme may raise blood levels, increasing the risk of side effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a physician before using this medication, and it is particularly advisable to avoid use while breastfeeding. Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients have not been established; therefore, it should not be used in children. In cases of overdose, symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and visual disturbances may occur, and severe cases may require professional treatment. Patients with heart disease or a risk of QT prolongation should be cautious as there may be cardiac side effects associated with this medication. Lastly, this medication is considered non-genotoxic and not likely to promote tumors, nor does it significantly affect reproductive capability.
