Ditropan Side Effects in Child
My five-year-old is on a bladder anti-spasm medication (Ditropan) and I have her at a half dose because she was hallucinating on a whole dose. On a whole dose, her face was also splotchy. The pediatric urologist doesn't want her to stop taking it and it does keep her from having accidents but I think she may be starting to hallucinate again at the half dose - it might have happened once anyway that I know of. She's also started teasing and messing around (probably something she picked up from the kids at school - she's pretty good at it too) so I don't know what is teasing and what isn't. I need to make another appointment at the Children's Hospital for her to find out.
I never expected the side effects we had with this medication and it is a bit worrisome that both the pediatric urologist and pediatrician think this medication is still ok to take. Side effects - especially hallucinating - are scary.
Be sure to read the inserts with your prescriptions before taking medication so you know what to watch for no matter what the medication. Some of those commercials on television seem to list side effects that seem worse than the symptoms of the disease they're for!
Anything that affects the heart, mental function, or growth (ex: check for extenze side effects), read the reviews, read the side effects, and make informed decisions.
