Elderly patients may have reduced body functions, so this medication should be used carefully, for example, by reducing the dosage. In case of overdose, symptoms such as dry mouth, abdominal pain, drowsiness, and nausea may appear, and very rarely seizures may occur. In cases of overdose, general emergency care should be provided and symptoms should be observed until completely recovered. This medication should be kept out of the reach of children, stored in a safe place, and kept away from direct sunlight and moisture.
