Introduction
Racemic anisodamine tablets should generally not be taken for prolonged periods to avoid causing bodily discomfort. In addition, long-term use may lead to drug dependence. Medication must be taken under a doctor's guidance, strictly following the prescribed dosage and treatment course. Do not use the medication blindly on your own. If any adverse reactions occur during treatment, discontinue use immediately.
Racemic anisodamine tablets are generally not recommended for long-term use to avoid causing discomfort or adverse symptoms in the body.
Racemic anisodamine tablets are a commonly used Western anticholinergic medication and belong to the class of antispasmodic drugs. After administration, they can relieve smooth muscle spasms, gastrointestinal colic, and intestinal spasms. They are also used to treat organophosphorus poisoning, exert anticholinergic effects, inhibit bladder smooth muscle contraction, and help lower blood pressure.
Long-term use of this medication is generally not advised, as prolonged use may lead to adverse reactions such as blurred vision and facial flushing. A small number of patients may experience increased heart rate or difficulty urinating. Overdosing may result in symptoms of poisoning; therefore, long-term use is not recommended.
In addition, long-term use may lead to drug dependence. The medication should always be taken under a doctor's guidance, strictly adhering to the prescribed dosage and treatment duration. Self-medication without medical supervision should be avoided. If any adverse reactions occur during treatment, the drug should be discontinued immediately.
