Default Pamine tablets a no-no for myasthenics

Found this thanks to my Yahoo alerts. Add this to the long list of medications we can't take: Pamine® Tablets, like other anticholinergics, may produce drowsiness or blurred vision. Patients should be cautioned regarding activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery. Diarrhea may be an early symptom of incomplete intestinal obstruction; in such cases, Pamine® is not appropriate treatment and may be harmful. Use of Pamine® is contraindicated in patients with glaucoma, blockage in the urinary tract, blockage in the gastrointestinal tract, decreased gastrointestinal motility, unstable cardiovascular status in acute hemorrhage, severe ulcerative colitis, paralytic ileus, toxic megacolon complicating ulcerative colitis, and myasthenia gravis.
