Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
There are no studies with topical or oral oxybutynin use in pregnant women to inform a drug associated risk for birth defects or miscarriage; no adverse developmental outcomes observed in animal reproduction studies when administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at approximately 50 and 1 times, respectively, the maximum human dose based on body surface area
Lactation
There is no information on presence of drug in human milk, effects on breastfed child, or on milk production; developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from therapy or from the underlying maternal condition
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Exerts antispasmodic and antimuscarinic effects on smooth muscle; delays desire to void, increases bladder capacity, and decreases uninhibited contraction; decreases frequency and urgency

Do not cut the patch into smaller sizes unless otherwise directed.Contact with water (such as swimming, bathing) will not change the way the patch works. Avoid rubbing the patch area during these activities.If the area around the patch becomes red, itchy, or irritated, try a new site. If irritation continues or becomes worse, tell your doctor promptly.If the patch falls off, reapply it or apply a new patch to a new area and continue on your same schedule.When it is time to apply a new patch, remove the old one and dispose of it properly in the trash.
