Precautions

This medication should not be used in patients with certain diseases or conditions. For example, it should not be administered to patients with urinary retention symptoms where urination is difficult, those with severe gastrointestinal problems, patients with myasthenia gravis, and certain glaucoma patients. Additionally, patients who have had hypersensitivity reactions to this medication, those undergoing hemodialysis, and patients with severe liver or kidney dysfunction should not use this medication. Patients with certain genetic metabolic abnormalities are also excluded from treatment. Caution should be exercised when using this medication in some patients. For instance, it should be used carefully in patients with a risk of narrow or obstructed urinary tracts, those at risk of gastrointestinal obstruction or reduced motility, patients with severe renal dysfunction, and those with moderate liver dysfunction; dosage adjustments or cautious administration may be required in cases of co-administration with specific drugs. Common side effects that may occur while using this medication include dry mouth and constipation, as well as blurred vision or dry eyes. Rarely, it may result in difficulty urinating or severe gastrointestinal issues. This medication can cause severe allergic reactions such as arrhythmias, angioedema, and anaphylaxis, so if these symptoms occur, drug use should be immediately discontinued and medical attention sought. Moreover, this medication may affect the ability to drive or operate machinery, so caution is required. When used in conjunction with other anticholinergic drugs, this medication's effectiveness may increase, or its side effects may intensify, and it can diminish the efficacy of prokinetic agents. This medication is metabolized by certain enzymes (CYP3A4) in the liver, so co-administration with drugs that strongly inhibit this enzyme could lead to increased levels of this medication and consequently a higher risk of side effects. Therefore, dosage adjustments may be necessary when co-administering such medications. Safety in pregnant women has not been established, so it should be used cautiously during pregnancy. It is advisable for nursing women to avoid using this medication. Safety and efficacy in children have not been established, so it should not be administered to them. In cases of overdose, inducing vomiting should be avoided, and appropriate treatment such as activated charcoal is necessary, with professional treatment required depending on the severity of symptoms. This medication is known not to have genotoxicity or a risk of tumorigenesis, and does not negatively affect reproductive ability.
