Trospium, sold under the brand name Sanctura among others, is a medication used to treat symptoms of overactive bladder. It is taken by mouth. Effects begin within 7 days.

Common side effects include dry mouth, abdominal pain, and constipation. Other side effects may include urinary retention, agitation, and anaphylaxis. Safety in pregnancy is unclear. It is a antimuscarinic agent with minimal effects on the central nervous system. It works by causing the smooth muscle in the bladder to relax.

Trospium was patented in 1966 and approved for medical use in 1974. It is available as a generic medication. In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £6 in 2021. In the United States this amount costs about 30 USD.
