Frequently asked questions

What does Sanctura XR treat?

Sanctura XR (Trospium Chloride) may be used to treat overactive urinary bladder, urge urinary incontinence, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Sanctura XR work?

Sanctura XR is a cholinergic muscarinic antagonist. These drugs block muscarinic receptors, the docking sites for the nerve signal acetylcholine. By preventing acetylcholine from acting, they calm the 'rest-and-digest' nervous system, which can dry secretions, relax airway and bladder muscles, and speed up the heart, depending on the drug.

How is Sanctura XR rated?

pharmaranks gives Sanctura XR a composite score of 3.6 out of 5, currently based on 1 weighted source (FDA regulatory recall-safety data weighted highest). See our methodology at /how-we-rate.

How much does Sanctura XR cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $7.08 for 30, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Oxytrol — about $1.42 on the same basis.
