[Postoperative intestinal paralysis caused by the muscarinic receptor blocker tiotropium bromide].
Drug-induced manipulation of the different muscarinic receptors is gaining increasing interest in the treatment of various diseases. Despite enhanced specific chemical design of these substances, side effects in other organ systems cannot be avoided completely. The observations presented led to the conclusion that under certain circumstances the bronchodilator tiotropium bromide can cause paralytic ileus.
