Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with symptoms of urinary retention. It should also be avoided in patients with serious gastrointestinal issues, muscle weakness, or those with glaucoma where eye pressure is elevated. Patients with an allergy to this medication or its ingredients, those undergoing dialysis, and patients with severely impaired liver or kidney function should also avoid it. It is advisable to avoid this medication in patients with specific genetic metabolic disorders. Caution is required for patients who may have a risk of urinary blockage or those with gastrointestinal obstruction issues and slower gastrointestinal motility. In cases of severe kidney or liver dysfunction, dosage should be restricted, and caution is needed when used in conjunction with specific powerful medications. Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease or autonomic nervous system abnormalities should also be cautious. Common side effects of this medication include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, dry eyes, nausea, indigestion, upper abdominal pain, vomiting, urinary tract infections, influenza, pharyngitis, dizziness, depression, cough, hypertension, fatigue, difficulty urinating, decreased urine flow, post-void residual, cystitis, rhinitis, headaches, hallucinations, drowsiness, confusion, renal impairment, itching, rash, erythema multiforme, exfoliative dermatitis, atrial fibrillation, palpitations, tachycardia, prolonged QT interval on ECG, abnormal liver function tests, and appetite change. Patients with irregular heartbeat or elevated potassium levels in blood should be cautious as there is a risk of cardiac side effects when using this medication. Severe allergic reactions such as vascular edema or anaphylaxis may occur, and if any abnormal symptoms appear, the use of the medication should be stopped immediately and medical treatment sought. Using this medication in combination with other anticholinergic drugs can enhance its effects or increase side effects, therefore caution is needed during co-administration. Additionally, it may reduce the effectiveness of drugs that promote gastrointestinal motility. Safety has not been established for pregnant women, and it should be avoided during breastfeeding as it may affect the baby. Safety and efficacy in children have not been established; therefore, it should not be administered to them. In cases of overdose, symptoms may include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and blurred vision, and appropriate treatment such as gastric lavage or activated charcoal may be necessary. This medication may take about 4 weeks to reach maximum effect, so consistent use is important. Caution should be taken while driving or operating machinery due to the risk of drowsiness or blurred vision.
