Oxyspas Tablet (Oxybutynin)

Introduction of Oxyspas Tablet (Oxybutynin)

OXYBUTYNIN belongs to the class of antispasmodic and anticholinergic drugs used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary incontinence (urine leakage), urgency or frequency, increased nocturia, dysuria (pain or difficulty urinating). In addition, OXYBUTYNIN is used to treat bedwetting in children over 5 years of age when other treatments have not worked. OXYBUTYNIN contains 'Oxybutynin' which works by blocking the release of a chemical transmitter called acetylcholine which is responsible for the contraction of the bladder muscles. Thus relaxing the smooth muscles of the bladder and stopping sudden muscle contractions (spasms). This helps control urine by delaying the initial desire to empty the bladder and increasing the bladder's ability to hold urine. Take OXYBUTYNINE with or without food. Swallow OXYBUTYNIN whole with water; do not chew, break or crush the tablet. How long you should take OXYBUTYNINE for how long your doctor prescribes it depends on your condition. In some cases, you may experience some common side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, headache, flushing, constipation, dry mouth, dry skin, urinary retention, diarrhea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will go away over time. However, you should talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects long termMost of those side outcomes do now not require clinical attention and will leave over time. However, you need to communicate in your medical doctor in case you revel in those facet outcomes long terms. Avoid taking OXYBUTYNINE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will only prescribe OXYBUTYNINE for you if the benefits outweigh the risks. OXYBUTYNIN may cause dizziness, drowsiness, drowsiness and blurred vision; so only drive if you are sober.

FAQ’s:-

How to deal with dry mouth?

Is overactive bladder (OAV) the same as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?

There is some overlap between the symptoms of overactive bladder and BPH. An overactive bladder is caused by uncontrolled contractions of the bladder muscles. The main symptom of an overactive bladder is a sudden and uncontrollable urge to urinate. On the other hand, BPH is caused by an enlarged prostate gland, which puts pressure on the bladder, thus causing pain when urinating.
