Precautions

This medication may not be suitable for certain patients. Patients who have had allergic reactions to this medication or its components should not take it. Additionally, this medication should not be administered to patients with blocked stomach or intestines, as it can inhibit movement of the stomach muscles and worsen symptoms. Patients with weak gastrointestinal function or excessively relaxed intestines may also experience worsening symptoms due to the anticholinergic effects of this medication. Patients with difficulty urinating should be cautious, as reduced contractions of the bladder muscles can worsen symptoms. Patients with glaucoma due to increased pressure in the eye should not take this medication. Patients with severe myasthenia gravis or severe heart disease may also have worsened symptoms due to this medication. Patients with severe inflammation or disorders in the colon, significantly reduced liver function, or a history of arrhythmias should avoid this medication.
