Cautions and Warnings : Warnings: Since drowsiness or visual impairment, disorientation, and confusion may occasionally occur with the use of scopolamine, patients should be cautioned about engaging in activities that require mental alertness, such as driving a motor vehicle or operating dangerous machinery. Potentially alarming idiosyncratic reactions may occur with ordinary therapeutic doses of scopolamine. In patients with a history of possible raised intraocular pressure (pressure pain, blurred vision, glaucomatous halo), TRANSDERM-V should be employed only after ophthalmologic examination excludes glaucoma. TRANSDERM-V should be discontinued if it causes blurring of vision with pressure pain within the eye. Care should be taken after removal of the system as side-effects may persist for up to 24 hours or longer. Due to the presence of aluminum in one of the layers of the system, the patch should be removed before medical scans. Precautions: TRANSDERM-V (scopolamine) should be used with caution in patients with dysuria, eg. due to urinary bladder neck obstruction. Caution should be exercised when administering an antiemetic or antimuscarinic drug to patients suspected of having intestinal obstruction, eg. pyloric stenosis. TRANSDERM-V should be used with caution in the elderly or in individuals with impaired metabolic, liver or kidney functions. In certain cases, especially in the elderly, confusional states and/or visual hallucinations may occur. Should this occur, TRANSDERM-V should be removed at once. If severe symptoms persist, appropriate countermeasures should be taken. In epileptic patients, isolated cases of increased seizure frequency have been reported. Use in Children: Children are particularly susceptible to the side effects of belladonna alkaloids. TRANSDERM-V should not be used in children because it is not known whether the amount of scopolamine released could product serious adverse effects in children. Pregnancy: TRANSDERM-V should be used during pregnancy only if the anticipated benefit justifies the potential risk to the mother and fetus. Lactation: TRANSDERM-V should not be administered to nursing mothers since scopolamine is excreted into breast milk. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (due to lack of sufficient safety evidence for these subpopulations). Drug Interactions: TRANSDERM-V should be employed with caution in patients taking drugs which act on the CNS. This applies particularly to patients under treatment with drugs displaying anticholinergic properties, for example, belladonna alkaloids, antihistamines, antidepressants (tricyclics and MAO inhibitors), phenothiazines, amantadine and quinidine. Any parasympatholytic or sympathomimetic agent, or barbiturate should be administered with caution to persons wearing TRANSDERM-V. Patients should refrain from consuming alcohol while using TRANSDERM-V. Alcohol may interfere with the metabolism of the drug and could thus cause plasma levels to become elevated, which could intensify the side effects.
