Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with urinary retention symptoms, severe gastrointestinal disease, myasthenia gravis, or angle-closure glaucoma. Patients undergoing hemodialysis or with severe liver or kidney impairment should also avoid this medication. Patients with genetic galactose intolerance should also avoid this medication. Caution should be exercised in patients with potential urinary retention due to bladder outlet obstruction, obstructive gastrointestinal disease, or reduced gastrointestinal motility. In cases of severe renal impairment or moderate liver impairment, the dosage should be limited when used in conjunction with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Patients taking drugs that may induce or worsen gastroesophageal reflux or esophagitis should also be cautious. This medication may cause side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention, and dry eyes, with dry mouth and constipation being reported commonly. In severe cases, serious adverse reactions such as intestinal obstruction or angioedema may occur, so consult a physician immediately if any abnormal symptoms appear. Patients with QT prolongation syndrome or hyperkalemia should be cautious as there is a risk of cardiac arrhythmias. Angioedema or anaphylaxis may occur, so if such symptoms appear, administration should be stopped immediately, and treatment should be sought. Caution is required when driving or operating machinery as drowsiness, blurred vision, and fatigue may occur. This medication may enhance effects or increase side effects when taken with other anticholinergic medications, so combination should be approached with caution.
