Older adults may be more sensitive to the effects of this medicine.

Pro-Banthine is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old.

Overdose symptoms may include feeling restless or excited, warmth or tingling under your skin, confusion, unusual thoughts or behavior, muscle weakness, or paralysis.

What should I avoid while using Pro-banthine?

What other drugs will affect Pro-banthine?

Using Pro-Banthine with other drugs that make you drowsy can worsen this effect. Ask your doctor before using opioid medication, a sleeping pill, a muscle relaxer, or medicine for anxiety or seizures.

Pro-Banthine slows the digestive tract, which can make it harder for your body to absorb any medicines you take by mouth. Tell your doctor if any of your oral medications do not seem to work as well while you are using this medicine.

Tell your doctor about all your current medicines. Many drugs can affect Pro-Banthine, especially:

  • heart rhythm medication;

  • medicine to treat depression, anxiety, mood disorders, or mental illness;

  • cold or allergy medicine (Benadryl and others);

  • medicine to treat Parkinson's disease;

  • steroid medicine;

  • medicine to treat stomach problems, motion sickness, or irritable bowel syndrome;

  • medicine to treat overactive bladder; or

  • bronchodilator asthma medication.

This list is not complete and many other drugs may affect Pro-Banthine. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible drug interactions are listed here.
