Glaucoma; obstructive disease of the gastrointestinal tract (eg, pyloroduodenal stenosis, achalasia, paralytic ileus); obstructive uropathy (eg, bladder-neck obstruction due to prostatic hypertrophy); intestinal atony of elderly or debilitated patients; severe ulcerative colitis or toxic megacolon complicating ulcerative colitis; unstable cardiovascular adjustment in acute hemorrhage; myasthenia gravis.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• CNS effects: May cause drowsiness and/or blurred vision, which may impair physical or mental abilities; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks which require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery or driving).
• Diarrhea: May be a sign of incomplete intestinal obstruction; discontinue treatment if this occurs.
• Heat prostration: May occur in the presence of increased environmental temperature; use caution in hot weather and/or exercise.
Disease-related concerns:
• Cardiovascular disease: Use with caution in patients with coronary artery disease, tachyarrhythmias, heart failure, or hypertension.
• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
• Hiatal hernia: Use with caution in patients with hiatal hernia with reflux esophagitis.
• Hyperthyroidism: Use with caution in patients with hyperthyroidism.
• Neuropathy: Use with caution in patients with autonomic neuropathy.
• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment.
• Ulcerative colitis: Use with caution in patients with ulcerative colitis; large doses may suppress intestinal motility.
Special populations:
• Older adult: Use with caution.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer’s labeling.
• Propylene glycol: Some dosage forms may contain propylene glycol; large amounts are potentially toxic and have been associated with hyperosmolality, lactic acidosis, seizures and respiratory depression; use caution (AAP 1997; Zar 2007). See manufacturer’s labeling.
Infants, patients with Down syndrome, and children with spastic paralysis or brain damage may be hypersensitive to antimuscarinic effects.
Some dosage forms may contain propylene glycol; in neonates large amounts of propylene glycol delivered orally, intravenously (eg, >3,000 mg/day), or topically have been associated with potentially fatal toxicities which can include metabolic acidosis, seizures, renal failure, and CNS depression; toxicities have also been reported in children and adults including hyperosmolality, lactic acidosis, seizures, and respiratory depression; use caution (AAP 1997; Shehab 2009).

Beers Criteria: GI antispasmodics with strong anticholinergic properties (propantheline) are identified in the Beers Criteria as a potentially inappropriate medications to be avoided in patients ≥65 years (independent of diagnosis or condition) due to their highly anticholinergic properties and uncertain effectiveness as an antispasmodic (Beers Criteria [AGS 2023]).
None known.
