Description
Indications
This is an extended-release formulation of oxybutynin, prescribed for the treatment of overactive bladder and urinary conditions. Its mechanism of action involves inducing muscle relaxation in the bladder, thereby alleviating symptoms of urgency and frequent urination. Oxybutynin belongs to a pharmacological class referred to as antispasmodics.
Uses and Dosage
Oxybutynin is available in tablet, syrup, and extended-release tablet forms for oral administration. The tablets and syrup are typically taken two to four times per day, while the extended-release tablet is taken once daily, with or without food.
Take oxybutynin at consistent times each day. Adhere to the prescribed dosage regimen precisely, avoiding any deviations such as increasing or decreasing the dose or taking it more frequently than instructed by your doctor.
When consuming the extended-release tablets, swallow them whole with an ample amount of water or liquid. Do not break, chew, or crush the extended-release tablets. Inform your doctor if you or your child encounter difficulties swallowing tablets.
Your doctor may initiate treatment with a low dose of oxybutynin and gradually escalate the dosage, with a frequency of no more than once per week.
While oxybutynin can manage your symptoms, it does not provide a cure for your condition. Continue taking oxybutynin even if you feel well. Ceasing the medication should only be done under the guidance of your doctor.
Within the first two weeks of treatment, you may notice some improvement in your symptoms. It may take approximately 6 to 8 weeks to experience the full benefits of oxybutynin. If your symptoms show no improvement within 8 weeks, consult your doctor for further guidance.

FAQ
How quickly does Ditropan XL work?
You may not see an immediate effect when you first start taking oxybutynin. Your bladder will need some time to adapt. It usually starts to have an effect within four weeks.
Is Ditropan XL a narcotic?
No. Oxybutynin isn’t a narcotic, and it doesn’t have potential for dependence or addiction. It won’t directly help with pain, though it might give you some bladder pain relief by relaxing the muscles in the bladder.
