Precautions related to Indications: There should be an adequate history of the patient to check.
Be sure of the patient's clinical symptoms before using this medicine, as the same symptoms may be seen in other diseases as well [e.g., infections at urinary tract, urinary tract stones, cancer, lower urinary tract cancers (such as bladder cancer and prostate cancer)] should be diagnosed in order to screen out other diseases using urinalysis, etc. Special tests should also be considered as necessary.
In patients with lower urinary tract obstruction (such as an enlarged prostate), treatment of such obstruction should be given priority.
This medicine should not be used in patients with dementia or impairment of mental abilities that are unable to recognize symptoms of gastritis urine can be squeezed too quickly.
Important Precautions: Patients should be cautioned to use when operating potentially hazardous machinery, such as automobiles, while using this drug because of the potential for interference with eye focus (e.g., visual disturbances, blurry vision), dizziness and/or drowsiness.
In patients with lower urinary tract obstruction such as enlarged prostate, the volume of urine remaining in the bladder should be measured before using this medicine, special tests should also be done. If necessary, it should follow up adequately after use with observation of the volume of urine remaining in the bladder, which may increase (see Precautions for patients with specific history as follows and Adverse Reactions).
If after using this medicine patient doesn't get better, do not continue using this medicine. Consideration should be given to other appropriate treatment.
Skin symptoms may occur after using this medicine, change the location of use of this medicine each time. If skin symptoms appear, should be treated adequately, such as using topical steroids or topical skin medications. Take an antihistamine or stop or temporarily discontinue use of this medicine (see Adverse Reactions).
Anticholinergic effect may induce. There is less sweating. This leads to intolerance of temperature increases outside the body and results in a rapid increase in body temperature. Therefore, when using the drug under high temperature conditions, the patient should be cautioned. Be careful about increased body temperature.
Precautions for patients with specific history: Patients with a history and complications of the following diseases: Patients with lower urinary tract obstruction (such as enlarged prostate) may cause urinary incontinence due to possible anticholinergic effects (see Important Precautions as previously mentioned and Adverse Reactions).
Patients with hyperthyroidism hypersensitivity: Sympathetic hyperactivities such as an abnormally fast heartbeat, symptoms may worsen due to its anticholinergic effects.
Patients with a heart attack: Sympathetic activity may be enhanced.
Patients with cardiac arrhythmias: This medicine may increase heart rate in patients with rapid cardiac arrhythmias due to the effect of parasympathetic activity which induces a predominant state of the sympathetic nervous system.
Patients with ulcerative colitis: Patients may develop toxic megacolon.
Patients with Parkinson's disease or those with cerebral artery abnormalities: Symptoms may worsen or psychotic symptoms may appear. Patients with dementia or cognitive impairment: Symptoms maybe worsen due to anticholinergic effects.
Patients with kidney impairment: Patients with serious kidney abnormalities: Delayed renal excretion may occur.
Patients with liver impairment: Patients with serious liver disorders: This medicine is mainly metabolized in the liver which may increase the risk of adverse reactions (see Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics under Actions).
Use in Children: This medicine is not recommended for patients younger than 20 years old.
There are no clinical studies in children.
