Ditropan generic (Oxybutynin) is used to control urgent, frequent, or uncontrolled urination in people who have overactive bladder (a condition in which the bladder muscles have uncontrollable spasms), spina bifida (a disability that occurs when the spinal cord does not close properly before birth), or other conditions that affect the bladder muscles. Ditropan is in a class of medications called anticholinergics. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles to prevent urgent, frequent, or uncontrolled urination.
Ditropan comes as a tablet, a syrup, and an extended-release (long-acting) tablet to take by mouth. The tablets and syrup are usually taken two to four times a day. The extended-release tablet is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take Ditropan at around the same time(s) every day. Ditropan may control your symptoms, but will not cure your condition. Continue to take Ditropan even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Ditropan without talking to your doctor. |
