  • Content


|fdaLIADAdult=*Propantheline bromide is effective as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of peptic ulcer.

Dosing Information
  • The usual initial adult dose of propantheline bromide tablets is 15 mg taken 30 minutes before each meal and 30 mg at bedtime (a total of 75 mg daily). Subsequent dosage adjustment should be made according to the patient’s individual response and tolerance.

|offLabelAdultGuideSupport=There is limited information regarding Off-Label Guideline-Supported Use of Propantheline bromide in adult patients.

|offLabelAdultNoGuideSupport=There is limited information regarding Off-Label Non–Guideline-Supported Use of Propantheline bromide in adult patients.

|offLabelPedNoGuideSupport=There is limited information regarding Off-Label Non–Guideline-Supported Use of Propantheline bromide in pediatric patients.

|contraindications=

|warnings=* In the presence of a high environmental temperature, heat prostration (fever and heat stroke due to decreased sweating) can occur with the use of propantheline.

  • With overdose, a curare-like action may occur (i.e., neuromuscular blockade leading to muscular weakness and possible paralysis). Propantheline may cause increased heart rate and therefore, should be used with caution in patients with heart disease.

Precautions

General
  • In patients with ulcerative colitis, large doses of propantheline may suppress intestinal motility to the point of producing paralytic ileus and, for this reason, may precipitate or aggravate toxic megacolon, a serious complication of the disease.


|clinicalTrials=*Varying degrees of drying of salivary secretions may occur as well as decreased sweating. Ophthalmic side effects include blurred vision, mydriasis, cycloplegia, and increased ocular tension. Other reported adverse reactions include urinary hesitancy and retention, tachycardia, palpitations, loss of the sense of taste, headache, nervousness, mental confusion, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, constipation, bloated feeling, impotence, suppression of lactation, and allergic reactions or drug idiosyncracies including anaphylaxis, urticaria and other dermal manifestations.


|postmarketing=There is limited information regarding Postmarketing Experience of Propantheline bromide in the drug label.


|drugInteractions=* Anticholinergics may delay absorption of other medication given concomitantly. Excessive cholinergic blockade may occur if propantheline is given concomitantly with belladonna alkaloids or synthetic and semisynthetic anticholinergic agents, narcotic analgesics such as meperidine, Type 1 antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g., disopyramide, procainamide, or quinidine), antihistamines, phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants, or other psychoactive drugs. Propantheline may also potentiate the sedative effect of phenothiazines. Increased intraocular pressure may result from concurrent administration of anticholinergics and corticosteroids.

  • Concurrent use of propantheline with slow-dissolving tablets of digoxin may cause increased serum digoxin levels. This interaction can be avoided by using only those digoxin tablets that rapidly dissolve by USP standards

|FDAPregCat=C |useInPregnancyFDA=

  • Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with propantheline. It is also not known whether propantheline can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Propantheline should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

|useInPregnancyAUS=

There is no Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC) guidance on usage of Propantheline bromide in women who are pregnant. |useInLaborDelivery=There is no FDA guidance on use of Propantheline bromide during labor and delivery. |useInNursing=*It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when propantheline is administered to a nursing woman. Suppression of lactation may occur with anticholinergic drugs. |useInPed=*Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established. |useInGeri=There is no FDA guidance on the use of Propantheline bromide with respect to geriatric patients. |useInGender=There is no FDA guidance on the use of Propantheline bromide with respect to specific gender populations. |useInRace=There is no FDA guidance on the use of Propantheline bromide with respect to specific racial populations. |useInRenalImpair=There is no FDA guidance on the use of Propantheline bromide in patients with renal impairment. |useInHepaticImpair=There is no FDA guidance on the use of Propantheline bromide in patients with hepatic impairment. |useInReproPotential=There is no FDA guidance on the use of Propantheline bromide in women of reproductive potentials and males. |useInImmunocomp=There is no FDA guidance one the use of Propantheline bromide in patients who are immunocompromised.

|administration=*Oral |monitoring=There is limited information regarding Monitoring of Propantheline bromide in the drug label. |IVCompat=There is limited information regarding IV Compatibility of Propantheline bromide in the drug label.

|overdose=*The symptoms of overdosage with propantheline progress from an intensification of the usual side effects to CNS disturbances (from restlessness and excitement to psychotic behavior), circulatory changes (flushing, fall in blood pressure, circulatory failure), respiratory failure, paralysis, and coma.

  • Measures to be taken are (1) immediate induction of emesis or lavage of the stomach and (2) injection of physostigmine 0.5 to 2 mg intravenously, and repeated as necessary up to a total of 5 mg, and (3) monitoring of vital signs and managing as necessary.
  • Fever may be treated symptomatically (cooling blanket or alcohol sponging). Excitement of a degree which demands attention may be managed with thiopental sodium 2% solution given slowly intravenously or diazepam, 5 to 10 mg intravenously or 10 mg intramuscularly. In the event of progression of the curare-like effect to paralysis of the respiratory muscles, mechanical respiration should be instituted and maintained until effective respiratory action returns.
  • The oral LD50 of propantheline bromide is 780 mg/kg in the mouse and 370 mg/kg in the rat.

}} |mechAction=*Propantheline bromide inhibits gastrointestinal motility and diminishes gastric acid secretion. The drug also inhibits the action of acetylcholine at the postganglionic nerve endings of the parasympathetic nervous system.

|structure=* Each tablet for oral administration contains:

  • Propantheline bromide.................................................. 15 mg
  • Propantheline bromide, a synthetic quaternary ammonium compound, occurs as white or nearly white crystals. It is odorless and has a bitter taste, and is very soluble in water and chloroform; practically insoluble in ether, acetone and ethyl acetate. It is designated chemically as (2-Hydroxyethyl) diisopropylmethyl-ammonium bromide xanthene-9-carboxylate.
  • The structural formula is:

Inactive Ingredients

|PD=There is limited information regarding Pharmacodynamics of Propantheline bromide in the drug label.

|PK=*Propantheline bromide is extensively metabolized in man primarily by hydrolysis to the inactive materials xanthene-9-carboxylic acid and (2-hydroxyethyl) diisopropylmethylammonium bromide. In a bioavailability study, peak plasma concentrations of propantheline were achieved in about one hour, following a single oral dose.

  • The plasma elimination half-life of propantheline is about 1.6 hours. Approximately 70% of the dose is excreted in the urine, mostly as metabolites. The urinary excretion of propantheline is about 3% after oral tablet administration.
