Information:
Oxybutynin, also known as Ditropan and other brand names, is a treatment for overactive bladder. Tolterodine, Darifenacin, and Solifenacin are all similar in their operation. There is insufficient evidence to support its use for bedwetting in children. It can be taken orally or applied topically.
Uses:
Oxybutynin is utilized to treat overactive bladder (a condition where the bladder muscles contract wildly and prompt continuous pee, critical need to pee, and failure to control pee) in specific grown-ups and youngsters. Oxybutynin is also taken as an extended-release tablet to control the muscles in the bladder in adults and children over the age of 6 who have spina bifida (a disability caused by the spinal cord not closing properly before birth) or other bladder-related nervous system conditions.
Dosage:
Oxybutynin is available as a syrup, extended-release (long-acting), and oral extended-release tablets. The tablets and syrup are typically required two to four times each day. Typically, the extended-release tablet is taken once per day, either with or without food. Every day, take oxybutynin at roughly the same time(s). Carefully follow the instructions on your prescription label, and if you have any questions, ask your pharmacist or doctor. Oxybutynin should be taken as directed. Do not take it more frequently or less frequently than your doctor has instructed.
The extended-release tablets should be swallowed whole with a lot of water or another liquid. The extended-release tablets should not be broken, chewed, or crushed. If you or your child are unable to swallow tablets, consult your doctor.
A dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a household spoon, should be used to accurately measure each dose's liquid.
Side effects:
Dry mouth, constipation, drowsiness, difficulty sleeping, and urinary tract infections are all common side effects. Urinary retention and an increased risk of heat stroke are potential serious side effects. Although not thoroughly studied, its use during pregnancy appears to be safe, and its safety during breastfeeding is unknown. It works by inhibiting the effects of acetylcholine on smooth muscle, making it an antimuscarinic.
