Mechanism of Trospium-Valganciclovir Interaction (Severity Level: Moderate)
Competitive inhibition of renal tubular secretion Click to Show/Hide Mechanism Graph
Drug Name		Trospium				Valganciclovir
Mechanism		Trospium				Competitive inhibition of renal tubular secretion of trospium
Key Mechanism Factor 1
		Factor Name		Renal tubular secretion
		Factor Description		Renal tubular secretion allows selective transfer of substances from the blood around the capillaries into the renal tubules via filtrate. Drug excretion may be reduced when two drugs compete for renal tubular secretion.
Mechanism Description		Decreased elimination of Trospium caused by Valganciclovir mediated competitive inhibition of renal tubular secretion

Recommended Action
Management		Patients receiving trospium chloride in combination with other drugs that undergo active tubular secretion should be monitored for excessive pharmacologic effects of one or both drugs, and the dosages of the drugs adjusted if necessary.
