Propantheline as a diagnostic tool--a serious complication

R Kay, R Poole, E Fuchs

    The Journal of Urology
    |June 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Propantheline bromide, used for bladder control, can cause serious cardiac toxicity even at diagnostic doses. This case highlights potential cardiovascular risks associated with this anticholinergic medication.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Urology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Propantheline bromide is a quaternary ammonium compound that inhibits acetylcholine at parasympathetic nerve endings.
    • It is frequently prescribed for urologic conditions, with varied dosages for outpatients and inpatients.

    Observation:

    • A diagnostic test dose of propantheline bromide was administered to a patient.
    • Cystometrograms were used to monitor the bladder's dynamic responses to the medication.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced serious cardiac toxicity following the administration of a diagnostic test dose.
    • This adverse event was documented during the urodynamic assessment.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should be aware of the potential for severe cardiac side effects from propantheline bromide, even at low diagnostic doses.
    • This case underscores the importance of careful patient monitoring during urodynamic testing with anticholinergic agents.
