Geriatrics (> 65 years of age): Elderly patients may be at a higher risk for undiagnosed glaucoma as well as atropine-induced psychotic reactions and behavioural disturbances. Pediatrics (< 12 years of age): ALCON ATROPINE is contraindicated in pediatric patients <12 years of age because of the risk of serious systemic side effects. https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00065579.PDF PM date: March 30, 2022 Source product: ALCON ATROPINE; DIN 00035017; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
