The respiratory center of the brain is located in the pons and medulla and is primarily driven by elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood (hypercapnia) with decreased oxygen levels serving as a less potent stimulus. [9] Central nervous system disorders, such as stroke and tumors, may cause hypoventilation. Drugs may decrease respiratory ...

In a person, this effect is potentially lethal. The second cause being especially a risk with heavier-than-air vapors such as butane or gasoline vapor. Deaths typically ...
Dry throat is the most common side effect. If the medication gets in contact with the eyes, it may cause blurred vision for a brief time. The use of anticholinergics in combination with short-acting β 2-adrenergic agonists has been shown to reduce hospital admissions in children and adults with acute asthma exacerbations. [4] [5]
