Taking this medication with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants may enhance its effects, leading to increased drowsiness or dizziness.

Patients with allergic reactions or certain genetically inherited lactose intolerance should not take this medication. Patients with urinary issues or a history of glaucoma should exercise additional caution when using this medication. Common side effects of this medication include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and in severe cases, cardiac problems or psychiatric symptoms may also occur. It is safe to avoid activities requiring concentration, such as driving or operating dangerous machinery, while taking this medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using this medication and may consider stopping breastfeeding while taking it. The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established for children under 15 years of age, and its use is not recommended.
