塩化トロスピウムの下部尿路機能に対する作用

Abstract

除脳犬13頭を対象に, 塩化トロスピウムの排尿動態パラメータに及ぼす効果を中心として検討した.塩化トロスピウムは膀胱収縮性を低下する作用を有しており, 過活動膀胱に対する治療薬剤の可能性がある

The effects of trospium chloride on the lower urinary tract function were studied by combined recording of cystometry and sphincter electromyogram in 13 decerebrated dogs. Micturition was induced by bladder filling before and after drug administration. A statistical analysis was carried out on the urodynamic parameters. Trospium chloride at the dose of 0.1 mg/kg showed a small but significant decrease in the threshold pressure during the collecting phase. In the urodynamic parameters of the emptying phase which is considered to be influenced by cholinergic activity, there was a significant decrease in maximum bladder pressure at 0.03, 0.1, and 0.3 mg/kg and a significant increase in residual urine at 0.3 mg/kg. Trospium chloride is probably acting as a antimuscarinic agent in this study. Trospium chloride appears to be useful for the relief of symptoms associated with hyperactive bladder contraction.
