Precautions

This drug should not be used in patients with urinary retention symptoms or severe gastrointestinal diseases, myasthenia gravis, and narrow-angle glaucoma. Patients with allergic reactions to this drug or its ingredients, patients on dialysis, and those with severe liver or kidney dysfunction should also avoid administration. Particularly, patients with moderate or worse liver or kidney dysfunction or those taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should use with caution and dose limitation may be necessary. Patients with certain conditions such as urinary obstruction, intestinal obstruction, and autonomic neuropathy should also be administered with caution. Common side effects may include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention, and dry eyes, so symptoms should be closely monitored. Serious side effects such as intestinal obstruction or fecal impaction, angioedema, and anaphylactic reactions have been reported; if any abnormal symptoms occur, discontinue the medication immediately and consult a healthcare professional. This medication may increase the risk of accidents due to drowsiness or blurred vision during driving or operating machinery, so caution is advised. Additionally, if taken with other anticholinergic medications, effects or side effects may increase, so always consult a doctor or pharmacist when combining drugs. The safety of this medication has not been established in pregnant or breastfeeding women, so consultation with a specialist is essential prior to administration. For pediatric patients, safety and efficacy have not been confirmed, so it is advisable not to use it.
