What do FAERS reports show for trospium and xanomeline?

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System holds 2,089 reports that list trospium and xanomeline among the medicines taken, through July 30, 2026, each a report of something that happened, not proof the medicine caused it; 26 are coded as a death and 189 as a hospital stay. Counts follow how widely a medicine is used and watched, and they are not a measure of how risky it is. Reports rose sharply in 2025 (1,254, against a median of 0 a year): FAERS counts follow reporting, which news, litigation and label changes can drive, not how often a reaction happens.
