Emepronium
Emepronium is a quinuclidine derivative that is used as an antispasmodic. It is a muscarinic antagonist that has been used in the treatment of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Emepronium is a muscarinic antagonist, which means it works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that can cause muscle contractions. By blocking acetylcholine, emepronium can help to reduce involuntary muscle contractions in the bladder, which can help to reduce symptoms of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Emepronium is used in the treatment of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder. It can help to reduce the frequency of urination and the urgency to urinate, which can improve quality of life for individuals with these conditions.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medications, emepronium can cause side effects. These may include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and dizziness. If these side effects persist or worsen, individuals should contact their healthcare provider.
Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Emepronium should not be used by individuals with certain medical conditions, including glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, and certain types of heart disease. It should also not be used by individuals who are allergic to quinuclidine derivatives.
