The possible side effects when taking this medication include rapid heart rate, urinary tract infection, dyspepsia, and skin rash. Rarely, cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation have also been reported. In clinical trials involving Asians, dry mouth was common as a side effect; however, it was not severe. This drug may slightly raise heart rate and blood pressure; therefore, especially in hypertensive patients, blood pressure should be monitored regularly. Patients with a history of QT interval prolongation or those taking related medications should closely observe their cardiac status. Patients with bladder outlet obstruction or those taking antimuscarinic agents should use this drug cautiously as it may cause problems such as urinary retention.
