Oxybutynin is a drug which works to reduce muscle spasms of the bladder and urinary tract. It is used to treat symptoms of overactive bladder, such as frequent or urgent urination, incontinence (urine leakage), and increased night-time urination. While using Oxybutynin, do not drive or do anything that requires you to be fully awake and alert as it may cause blurred vision, drowsiness, or dizziness. Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather, because Oxybutynin decreases perspiration and you may be more prone to heat stroke. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and non-prescribed medicines, vitamins, minerals, and herbal products. Before using Oxybutynin, tell your doctor if you
- have untreated or uncontrolled glaucoma
- have liver disease
- have kidney disease
- have an enlarged prostate
- have ulcerative colitis
- have a blockage in your stomach or intestines
- have a muscle disorder such as myasthenia gravis
- have a stomach disorder such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or slow digestion
- are unable to urinate
