Oxybutynin is a medication used to treat overactive bladder and other urinary disorders associated with detrusor instability. It belongs to the class of anticholinergics and works by relaxing the bladder muscles, thereby reducing involuntary contractions and the frequency of urinary urgency.

It is indicated for relieving symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary incontinence, and the urgent need to urinate. Oxybutynin is available in tablet form, transdermal patches, or oral solutions, with the dosage adjusted based on the patient's needs.

Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision. In rare cases, confusion or allergic reactions may occur. It is important to take oxybutynin as prescribed by a healthcare provider, and patients with glaucoma, gastrointestinal obstructions, or other conditions should inform their doctor before use.
