Atropine-Care Disease Interactions
There are 2 disease interactions with Atropine-Care (atropine ophthalmic).
Anticholinergics (applies to Atropine-Care) glaucoma
Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Glaucoma/Intraocular Hypertension
Anticholinergic agents are contraindicated in patients with primary glaucoma, a tendency toward glaucoma (narrow anterior chamber angle), or adhesions (synechiae) between the iris and lens, as well as for the elderly and others in whom undiagnosed glaucoma or excessive pressure in the eye may be present. Because anticholinergics cause mydriasis, they may exacerbate these conditions.

Anticholinergics (applies to Atropine-Care) hypertension
Minor Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.
Cardiovascular effects of anticholinergics may exacerbate hypertension. Therapy with anticholinergic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertension.
