What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using demecarium bromide ophthalmic?
Rarely, demecarium bromide ophthalmic may cause retinal detachment. Tell your doctor if you have any type of retinal disease, if you have had a retinal tear, if you are nearsighted, or if you have had cataract surgery. These conditions may increase the risk of retinal detachment. Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you • have heart failure, • have high or low blood pressure, • have ever had a heart attack, • have asthma, • have a stomach ulcer or stomach spasms, • have epilepsy, • have hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid), • have blockage of your urinary tract or difficulty urinating, or • have Parkinson’s disease. You may not be able to use demecarium bromide ophthalmic, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying demecarium bromide ophthalmic. Ask your doctor if contact lenses can be reinserted after application of the medication.
