Uses

Niche Oxybutynin 2.5mg Tablet treats symptoms of overactive bladder including frequent urination, urgency, incontinence, and nocturia. It is also prescribed for neurogenic bladder disorders associated with spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions that affect bladder function.

• Effective for both neurogenic and non-neurogenic bladder disorders

How It Works

Niche Oxybutynin 2.5mg Tablet works by blocking acetylcholine receptors in the bladder muscle. This action reduces involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle, decreases bladder pressure, and increases bladder capacity, allowing for more normal urinary patterns and reduced urgency.

Duration of Action

The medication begins working within 30-60 minutes after administration. Effects typically last 6-10 hours with each dose. Maximum therapeutic benefits may take 2-3 weeks of consistent use to achieve optimal bladder control.

Dosage

Discontinue if severe allergic reactions occur.

Side Effects

Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, drowsiness, dizziness, and headache. Less common effects include confusion, palpitations, decreased sweating, urinary retention, impaired cognitive function, and skin flushing. Most side effects are dose-dependent and may diminish with continued use.
