6.Contents of the pack and additional information

The active ingredient of Uraplex is trospium chloride.

This product is a urological antispasmodic (medication to relax the muscles of the urinary bladder).

Uraplex is used for the treatment of symptoms associated with involuntary loss of urine (wetting clothes) and/or increased urinary frequency and/or urinary urgency in patients with overactive bladder.

Do not take Uraplex

• If you are allergic to trospium chloride or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• If you have urinary retention.
• If you have narrow-angle glaucoma (high eye pressure).
• If you have tachyarrhythmia (rapid and irregular heartbeats).
• If you have myasthenia gravis (a disorder characterized by rapid muscle fatigue with exercise).
• If you have a severe gastrointestinal condition, including toxic megacolon (abnormally large dilation of part of the large intestine) and severe ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease).
• If you are under 12 years old.

Warnings and precautions

• If you have obstructive gastrointestinal tract disorders such as pyloric stenosis (narrowing of the pylorus, the opening between the stomach and small intestine).
• If you have urinary flow obstruction, with a risk of urinary retention.
• If you have autonomic neuropathy.
• If you have hiatal hernia associated with gastroesophageal reflux.
• When an increase in heart rate may be counterproductive, such as in patients with hyperthyroidism, coronary disease, and congestive heart failure.

Since there are no data available in patients with liver insufficiency, it is not recommended to administer trospium chloride in these cases.

Trospium chloride is primarily eliminated by the urine. Significant increases in plasma trospium chloride levels have been observed in patients with severe renal insufficiency. Therefore, caution should be exercised in patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal insufficiency.

Before starting treatment, the underlying causes of frequent urination, urgent need to urinate, and urinary incontinence, such as cardiovascular disease, renal disease, polydipsia (excessive thirst), or urinary tract infections or tumors, should be excluded.

Other medications and Uraplex

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication, including those purchased without a prescription, especially:

The possible interactions are:

• Potentiation of the effect of anticholinergic drugs such as amantadine (for Parkinson's disease), quinidine, and disopyramide (drugs to improve cardiac rhythm disorders), antihistamines (for allergies), and tricyclic antidepressants.
• Intensification of the taquicardizant action of beta-sympathomimetics (drugs for asthma and other respiratory conditions).
• Decrease in the efficacy of prokinetic drugs (drugs to improve intestinal transit) such as metoclopramide and cisapride.
• Since trospium chloride may affect gastrointestinal motility and secretion, it cannot be ruled out that the absorption of other drugs administered at the same time may be altered.
• It cannot be ruled out that the absorption of trospium chloride may be inhibited by drugs such as guar (used to improve certain metabolic disorders such as diabetes), as well as cholestyramine and colestipol (used to reduce blood cholesterol). Therefore, it is not recommended to administer these drugs simultaneously with trospium chloride.
• In vitro investigations of the metabolic interactions of trospium chloride with the cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in drug metabolism (P450 1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4) did not show any interactions.

No clinically significant interactions were observed in clinical trials or in the spontaneous reporting system of adverse events.

Pregnancy, lactation, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Uraplex will only be used during pregnancy and lactation after a careful risk-benefit assessment by your doctor, as there are not enough clinical data available. Animal studies have not shown any indications of harmful effects on the embryo/fetus.

Driving and operating machinery

Visual accommodation disorders may reduce the ability to use machinery. However, the parameters used to evaluate driving ability (visual orientation, general reaction time, or under stress, concentration, and movement coordination) have not shown any effects caused by trospium chloride.

Uraplex contains saccharose, sodium, lactose, and wheat starch

This medication contains wheat starch, equivalent to 438 ppm of gluten, which should be taken into account by patients with celiac disease.

Patients with wheat allergy (other than celiac disease) should not take this medication.

This medication contains saccharose and lactose. If your doctor has indicated that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medication.

This medication contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per tablet, which is essentially "sodium-free".

Follow exactly the administration instructions for this medication as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

The recommended dose is:

Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, 1 coated tablet (20 mg of trospium chloride) 2 times a day (equivalent to 40 mg of trospium chloride per day) orally.

The recommended dose in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance between 10 and 30 ml/min/1.73 m2) is 1 coated tablet (equivalent to 20 mg of trospium chloride) once a day or every other day.

The coated tablets should be swallowed whole, without chewing, with a glass of water before meals, with an empty stomach.

Use in children

The safety and efficacy have not been established in children under 12 years.

If you take more Uraplex than you should

Immediately contact your doctor or hospital and seek medical help.

In case of overdose, anticholinergic effects such as visual disturbances, rapid heart rate, dry mouth, and skin redness would occur. These symptoms can be treated with a cholinergic agonist such as neostigmine. In patients with glaucoma, pilocarpine can be applied locally.

However, in case of overdose or accidental ingestion, go to a medical center or consult the Toxicological Information Service, phone 915 62 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you forgot to take Uraplex

Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed doses.

Continue treatment, without needing to take the missed coated tablet.

If you interrupt treatment with Uraplex

Your doctor will indicate the duration of your treatment with Uraplex. Do not discontinue treatment prematurely, as the expected benefits will not be achieved.

The need for continued treatment should be reassessed at regular intervals of 3-6 months.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
