Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Heat illness: May occur in the presence of increased environmental temperature; advise patients to avoid use if not sweating in hot or very warm environmental temperatures.
• Urinary retention: Signs and symptoms of new or worsening urinary retention (eg, difficulty passing urine, distended bladder) may occur with use and may require discontinuation of therapy.
• Visual disturbances: May cause transient blurred vision, which may impair physical or mental abilities; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks that require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery, driving).
Disease-related concerns:
• Urinary retention: Use with caution in patients with a history or presence of urinary retention (eg, bladder-neck obstruction, prostatic hypertrophy).
