Oxybutynin Chloride Pharmacology
Oxybutynin is an antispasmodic, anticholinergic agent indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency. Oxybutynin relaxes bladder smooth muscle. Oxybutynin exhibits only one-fifth of the anticholinergic activity of atropine on the rabbit detrusor muscle, but four to ten times the antispasmodic activity. Antimuscarinic activity resides predominantly in the R-isomer.
Oxybutynin Chloride Absorption
Rapidly absorbed from gastrointestinal tract.

Oxybutynin Chloride Patient Information
PATIENT INFORMATION
Patient should be informed that oxybutynin may produce drowsiness or blurred vision. Alcohal may enhance the drowsiness caused by anticholinergic agents. Fever and heat stroke can occur while anticholinergics are administered in the presence of high environmental temparature. Medication should be taken with the aid of liquids at approximately the same time each day. Patients should not chew, divide, or crush tablets.
