Kemadrin Warnings and Precautions
Before starting treatment with Kemadrin, warnings and precautions for the medication should be discussed with your healthcare provider. For instance, make sure your healthcare provider is aware of any health conditions you have, such as glaucoma, bladder problems, or a rapid heart rate (Kemadrin can make these conditions worse). Kemadrin warnings and precautions also apply to people who have certain allergies and to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
