Oxybutynin is available as a 5 mg oral tablet.

Oxybutynin is a urinary antispasmodic and is used to treat overactive bladder, and incontinence in children due to a neurologic (brain) condition, such as spina bifida.

Oxybutynin is an anticholinergic and antimuscarinic medication that relaxes the muscles in your bladder. Relaxed bladder muscles have fewer spasms, and this eases your need to urinate.

Oxybutynin is typically taken by mouth up to a maximum dose of 5 mg by mouth 4 times a day.

Oxybutynin is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have urinary retention, gastric retention and other severe decreased gastrointestinal motility conditions, or uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma.

• Dry mouth
