Oxybutynin Medical Information
Oxybutynin hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called anticholinergics and antispasmodics.
It works by relaxing the muscles of the bladder and stops sudden muscle contractions (spasms). This helps control the release of urine.
Oxybutynin Tablets can be used in adults to treat the following:
Loss of control in passing urine (urinary incontinence)
Increased need or urgency to pass urine
Adults:
The usual dose is 5mg taken two or three times a day.
This may be increased to a maximum dose of 5mg four times a day.
Elderly (including frail elderly):
The usual dose is 2.5mg twice a day.
This dose may be increased to 5mg twice a day.
