Warnings
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity
Gastric retention
Uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma
Urinary retention
Conditions that severely decrease GI motility
Cautions
Caution with clinically significant bladder outflow obstruction because of the risk of urinary retention
Caution with gastrointestinal obstructive disorders or decreased intestinal motility because of the risk of gastric retention
Caution with GERD and/or those taking drugs that can cause or exacerbate esophagitis (eg, bisphosphonates)
Discontinue if skin hypersensitivity occurs
Avoid use in patients with myasthenia gravis because of decreased cholinergic activity; if experiencing exacerbation of symptoms of myasthenia gravis, oxybutynin-containing product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy promptly provided
Caution with other anticholinergics (antimuscarinics); may increase risk for xerostomia, constipation, headache, dizziness, somnolence, and blurred vision
Angioedema requiring hospitalization and emergency medical treatment has occurred with the first or subsequent doses of oral oxybutynin; in the event of angioedema, oxybutynin containing products should be discontinued and appropriate therapy promptly provided
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

OXYBUTYNIN - TRANSDERMAL
(OX-i-BUE-ti-nin)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Oxytrol
USES: Oxybutynin is used to treat an overactive bladder. By relaxing the muscles in the bladder, oxybutynin improves symptoms such as the inability to control urination (incontinence), feeling that one has to urinate (urgency), and having to go to the bathroom often (frequency). This medication belongs to the class of drugs known as antispasmodics.This medication is not recommended for use in children younger than 5 years of age. Consult your doctor for more information.Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, the over-the-counter product should only be used by adult women who have symptoms of overactive bladder for at least 2 months.For over-the-counter products, carefully read the package instructions to make sure the product is right for you. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you.
HOW TO USE: If you are taking the over-the-counter product to self treat, read all directions on the product package before taking this medication. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using oxybutynin and each time you get a refill. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, take it as directed. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.Apply one patch to your skin as directed by your doctor, usually every 3 to 4 days. If you are self-treating, apply one patch to your skin every 4 days. Follow the dosing schedule carefully.Remember to remove the old patch before applying a new patch.Apply the new patch to a different area of skin to prevent skin irritation. Do not apply a patch to the same area within 7 days.Before applying the patch, wash the area you will be using for the patch gently and thoroughly with soap and water. Rinse and dry with a clean dry towel.Do not open the sealed pouch container until you are ready to apply the patch. Open the pouch and remove the protective liner from the patch to expose the adhesive. Apply the patch to an area of clean, dry, smooth skin on the stomach (abdomen), hips, or buttocks. Press firmly to be sure the patch stays on. Apply to an area of skin that is under clothing and protected from sunlight. Avoid applying the patch on your waistline, since tight clothing may rub the patch off, or on areas where sitting may loosen it.
