Fesoterodine fumarate is contraindicated in patients with gastric retention [see Contraindications (4)] . The use of fesoterodine fumarate is not recommended in patients with decreased gastrointestinal motility, such as those with severe constipation. 5.4 Worsening of Narrow-Angle Glaucoma Fesoterodine fumarate can worsen controlled narrow-angle glaucoma. Fesoterodine fumarate is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma [see Contraindications (4) ] . Fesoterodine fumarate should be used with caution in patients being treated for narrow-angle glaucoma. 5.5 Central Nervous System Effects Fesoterodine fumarate is associated with anticholinergic central nervous system (CNS) adverse reactions [ see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
