Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with urinary retention symptoms, severe gastrointestinal diseases, myasthenia gravis, or angle-closure glaucoma. Additionally, individuals allergic to this medication or its components, those undergoing hemodialysis, patients with severe liver impairment, and those with severe renal impairment taking certain medications should not use it. Caution is required in patients with bladder outlet obstruction at risk of urinary retention, gastrointestinal obstruction, or those at risk of decreased gastrointestinal motility. When taking this medication, side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention, dry eyes may occur, particularly at higher doses. Patients with QT prolongation syndrome or hyperkalemia should be cautious as there is a risk of cardiac arrhythmias. Serious allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis may occur, and if symptoms arise, immediate discontinuation and medical attention are required. Caution is needed while driving or operating machinery as symptoms such as drowsiness or blurred vision may affect ability. This drug may enhance effects or exacerbate side effects when used with other anticholinergic medications, thus caution is necessary when coadministering. When used with drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes, dose adjustments are needed, and especially in patients with severe liver or kidney impairment, coadministration should be avoided. Pregnant women should use this medication cautiously as its safety has not been established, and breastfeeding mothers should avoid using it as it may affect the infant through breast milk. Safety has not been established in children, so it should not be administered to them. In cases of overdose, central nervous system symptoms, cardiac arrhythmias, and respiratory failure may occur, thus immediate medical attention should be sought.
