Precautions

This medication should not be used in certain patients. Patients who are allergic to the active ingredient or other components of this medication, those with uncontrolled severe hypertension, and those with serious heart conditions should avoid taking this medication as it may worsen their symptoms. Additionally, patients with heart conditions that cause prolonged QT intervals or those taking medications that may prolong the QT interval should exercise caution when using this medication. Patients with end-stage renal disease or severe liver dysfunction are not recommended to take this medication. It is particularly advisable for patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment who are taking strong CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors to avoid this medication. Patients with bladder outlet obstruction or those taking other medications for the treatment of overactive bladder should also be cautious when using this medication. Furthermore, this medication contains specific pigments, so patients who are allergic to those pigments should take it carefully. The most common side effects when taking this medication are tachycardia and urinary tract infections. Most side effects are mild to moderate, and there have been rare reports of severe cardiac issues such as atrial fibrillation. In Asian patients, dry mouth is a common side effect, which is relatively less frequent compared to other treatments. Blood pressure may increase during the course of treatment, so it is important for patients with hypertension to regularly monitor their blood pressure. The heart rate may also increase slightly, and these changes will return to normal after discontinuation of the medication. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should avoid taking this medication, and nursing mothers should also refrain from using it for safety's sake. Safety and efficacy have not been established in children under 19 years of age. In case of overdose, increased heart rate and palpitations may occur, and in such cases, medical attention should be sought immediately, with monitoring of blood pressure and heart condition. This medication may interact with various other medications, so if other medications are being taken, it is essential to consult with a doctor or pharmacist. Particularly, caution is needed when used in conjunction with medications affecting CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 enzymes.
