Precautions

This medication is used to treat bladder hyperactivity and urinary disorders. Do not use this medication in patients with urinary retention symptoms or severe gastrointestinal diseases, myasthenia gravis, or narrow-angle glaucoma. Additionally, it is safe not to administer to patients undergoing dialysis, those with severe liver impairment, severe kidney impairment, or specific genetic metabolic disorders. Caution should be exercised when administering this medication to patients at risk of urinary retention, gastrointestinal obstructive diseases, those at risk of decreased gastrointestinal motility, and patients with severe kidney impairment or moderate liver impairment. This medication can cause common side effects associated with antimuscarinic drugs such as dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision, especially at higher doses these side effects may occur more often. Serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions or angioedema, anaphylactic reactions have been reported. If these symptoms occur, immediately discontinue the medication and seek medical attention. This medication may require caution during driving or machinery operation, as symptoms such as drowsiness or blurred vision may occur. The effects may be enhanced or side effects may be worsened when combined with other anticholinergic medications, and it may reduce the effectiveness of certain gastrointestinal motility agents. This medication is metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme, so the dosage should be limited when used with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, and co-administration should be avoided in patients with severe kidney or liver impairment. The safety for pregnant women has not been established; therefore, it should be administered with caution to pregnant women, and it is advisable for breastfeeding women to avoid using this medication. The safety and efficacy of this medication in children have not been established, so it should not be used in pediatric patients.
