4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use

Precautions: Since the use of Rodenal tablet may, in some cases, continue indefinitely, the patient should be under careful observation over the long term. It should be administered with care to avoid allergic or other untoward reactions.
Except in the case of vital complications, abrupt discontinuation of the drug should be avoided.
Incipient glaucoma may be precipitated by para-sympatholytic drugs such as benzhexol.
Hypertension, cardiac, liver or kidney disorders are not contra-indicated, but such patients should be followed closely. As Rodenal tablet may provoke or exacerbate tardive dyskinesia, it is not recommended for use in patients with this condition.
Rodenal tablet should be used with caution in patients with glaucoma, obstructive disease of the gastro-intestinal or genito-urinary tracts, and in elderly males with possible prostatic hypertrophy.
Since Rodenal tablet has been associated with the clinical worsening of myasthenia gravis, the drug should be avoided or used with great caution in patients with this condition.
Since certain psychiatric manifestations such as confusion, delusions and hallucinations, all of which may occur with any of the atropine-like drugs, have been reported rarely with Rodenal tablet, it should be used with extreme caution in elderly patients (see Dosage and Administration).

Warnings: Rodenal tablet may be the subject of abuse (on the basis of hallucinogenic or euphoriant properties, common to all anti-cholinergic drugs) if given in sufficient amounts.
