Drug Interactions (144) Disease Interactions (1)

There is 1 disease interaction with Isopto Hyoscine (scopolamine ophthalmic):

Major

Anticholinergics (Includes Isopto Hyoscine) ↔ Glaucoma

Severe Potential Hazard, High plausibility

Applies to: 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.
