Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with symptoms of poor urine output, significant gastrointestinal problems, severe muscle weakness, or glaucoma with high ocular pressure. Patients allergic to this drug or its ingredients should also avoid it. Patients undergoing hemodialysis or those with very poor liver and kidney function, as well as patients with certain genetic issues, should not use this medication for safety reasons. Patients at risk for poor urine output or with gastrointestinal obstruction or decreased motility, and those with moderate liver or kidney dysfunction should use this medication with caution. Additionally, patients taking specific medications or those with autonomic nervous system issues should be cautious. Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, dry eyes, and dizziness, and blurred vision may occur rarely, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery. Severe side effects such as intestinal obstruction, angioedema, and allergic reactions have been reported, and any unusual symptoms should be consulted with a doctor immediately. This medication is metabolized by certain enzymes in the liver, so taking it with drugs that strongly inhibit these enzymes may increase the concentration of this medication and the risk of side effects. Therefore, dosage adjustments may be needed if such medications are being taken. It is best to avoid this medication during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to uncertainty about its safety. Safety and efficacy in children have not been established, so it should not be used in this population. In case of overdose, symptoms may include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and blurred vision, and in severe cases, professional treatment may be required. Before taking this medication, patients must discuss existing health conditions or medications with a healthcare professional, and report any adverse reactions immediately.
