Consumer:Using trihexyphenidyl together with HYDROcodone can increase nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Do not use more than the dosages prescribed by your doctor, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Central anticholinergic agents may have additive central nervous system (CNS) effects with cannabinoids, barbiturates, opiates, and alcohol. These agents individually can cause cognitive and psychomotor impairment, drowsiness, and dizziness, thus concomitant use may result in more potent effects. In addition, the potential for abuse may be increased when central anticholinergic agents are combined with these drugs.
MANAGEMENT: Patients taking central anticholinergic agents in combination with other CNS depressants should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS depression, especially if they are elderly or debilitated. Ambulatory patients should be made aware of the possibility of additive CNS effects (e.g., drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, confusion) and counseled to avoid activities requiring mental alertness until they know how these agents affect them. Patients should also be advised to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.
