How To Use Cogentin
Take with food or milk to prevent stomach upset, unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Take Cogentin as directed. It may take a few weeks or months before the full benefits of Cogentin are observed. Do not stop taking Cogentin without your doctor s approval. Suddenly stopping the medication can sometimes lead to a worsening of symptoms.

Cogentin Side Effects

These effects should subside as your body adjusts to the medicine. If they persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly. Notify your doctor promptly if you develop: vomiting, fever, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, difficulty urinating, uncontrollable movements, muscle stiffness, fast/irregular heart rate, mood/mental changes. To relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water or use saliva substitute. Cogentin infrequently can cause decreased sweating, which could raise your body temperature (hyperthermia). The risk of this serious side effect is greater in hot weather and/or during vigorous exercise. Drink plenty of fluids and dress lightly while in hot climates, or when exercising. Check carefully for signs of decreased sweating. If this occurs, promptly seek cooler or air-conditioned shelter and/or stop exercising. Seek immediate medical attention if your body temperature is above normal, or if you have mental/mood changes, headache or dizziness. Consult your doctor for more details. A serious allergic reaction to Cogentin is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Cogentin may make you dizzy or drowsy; use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Alcohol can increase drowsiness. Limit alcohol use. To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the effects of Cogentin. Use cautiously. Cogentin should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor It is not known if Cogentin is excreted into breast milk.

Also inform your doctor if you take: amantadine, digoxin, other drugs which cause decreased sweating (e.g.,anticholinergics such as amitriptyline or haloperidol). Many nonprescription medicines for coughs and colds contain ingredients that may make you drowsy or give you dry mouth. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using such products and/or to help you identify these ingredients. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
