This medication should also not be administered to patients with megacolon or those with a deflated bowel. In such conditions, the medication may exacerbate the symptoms. Patients who have had allergic reactions to this medication should not use it, as allergic reactions can cause serious side effects. It is safer not to administer this medication to patients with severe liver failure, as the liver's ability to process the medication may be diminished, increasing the risk of side effects. Although this medication does not have anticholinergic effects, it should be used cautiously in patients with glaucoma or benign prostatic hyperplasia, as symptoms may worsen. Taking this medication may cause symptoms such as dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. If these symptoms are severe, consulting a physician is advised. Additionally, if allergic symptoms such as itching or red spots appear on the skin, the medication should be discontinued immediately and healthcare personnel should be informed. Patients taking blood pressure-lowering medications should be cautious with this medication as taking too much may lower blood pressure excessively. Pregnant women should only use this medication under a physician's guidance when absolutely necessary. Animal studies have not shown any special abnormalities in the fetus, but caution is important for safety. This medication should be kept out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
