AbstractWe describe a case of a young female who presented to the emergency department with 4 days of progressive myopia, dry mouth, anhidrosis and urinary hesitancy due to overuse of a new topical anticholinergic wipes, glycopyrronium tosylate (GT). In the United States medication misuse accounts for nearly 10% of pediatric emergency visits with 65% of these visits considered to be preventable [1]. Being familiar with new medications and their side effect profiles can prevent unnecessary or harmful interventions.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
