Oxybutynin Forums

I have been asking oxybutynin cl er 15 mg for a couple of years now, but now I am finding part of the pill in my stool?. The pill I take has ku on one side and 272 on the other side why is this happening and has anyone else had this problem? Am going to switch to another form of pill as it is not doing what it is suppose to me. Take it in the morning with the rest of my pills if that helps,the pill is melted and the part that goes into my stool has a hard plastic like substance to it. ## This tablet is manufactured by Kremers Urban and it is an extended release formulation, which means that the shell of the tablet may be intact in your stool, or you may see an odd substance, but that is normal and is part of the time released formulation, but the medication has been released and used by...

Ive been ditropan for a while and in the last few months have started having symptoms of dizzyiness and pressure in my forehead. Episodes last for a few hours. Im trying to find out if others are having simular issues or whether its an unrelated issue to ditropan. Have others experienced this? ## I am also experiencing dizziness and fatigue from this drug. I've been on oxybutynin now for about a year and a half. I've stopped taking this drug for about 2 weeks now. I was taking 15mg a day. Some days are better than others but I'm still not myself quite yet... ## Ditropan contains the active ingredient Oxybutynin, it is most commonly used to help treat overactive bladder, and yes, it is well known to cause these types of side effects, according to FDA reports.

I was put on Oxybutynin almost a year ago. It started because I have severe Crohns disease and woke up one morning after an extended flare up unable to walk. I went to the hospital and they found a blood clot inside my heart blocking off 90% of blood flow (amazing, I know.) Due to that and quickly dropping blood pressure I was forced to stay in bed for 5 weeks, then I slipped into a coma for 36 days. Being in a coma for that amount time they had put in a Foley. I had to stay on a Foley for 10 1/2 months straight. After removing it they said my bladder would struggle so this drug would help. It's been about a year since then, I've been in a wheelchair ever since. I'm hoping this background info will help anyone of you with my question. I have trouble remembering how well this...

This sounds weird, but I think oxybutynin 5 mg tablets are passing through my body without being dissolved. I receive my prescriptions from Express Scripts, by mail. Has anybody else ever mentioned this happening? I am a prostate cancer survivor and the pills were prescribed for incontinence. I have noticed more leakage lately, and observed the small white pills in my stool on two occasions. ## I also take oxybutynin have noticed the pill is in my stool...I don't know if it doesn't get dissolved...but I can actually read the numbers on it in my stool ## Hello, Bob and Carol! How are you? What you're both seeing in your stool is just the outer shell of the pill, but the medication is released. It's one method of controlling the release of a medication, so it is dispersed ...

Since I stopped taking Oxybutynin, I have no more dry mouth, dry nasal passages, dry eyes and dry skin. I also have no upset stomach anymore, including constant heartburn from taking the medication. I will be using surgery to relieve my problem. No more medicine. ## Those are very common side effects of this medication. It can also cause dizziness, vomiting, drowsiness and motion sickness. ## I have also noticed few aches in the joints, etc. My main issue is that it didn't even slow down the incontinece. Isn't that why I was taking it in the first place? Hmmm ## What type of surgery are you having? Is it for incontinence or overactive bladder? ## why is oxybutin SO expensive...it is an old drug WHY?? ## Thank you for mentioning joint pain! After just a couple days on this medica...

My son has been on oxybutynin er for 6 months. He has recently started having trouble voiding. It seems like his bladder is too relaxed. He is unable to urinate when he wants to, however he when his bladder gets very full he has a large urine accident. Is this a common side effect? How long will it take for the medication to wear off. ## Hello, Suzy! How are you? Yes, it is listed as a common side effect by the FDA, along with nausea, blurred vision and dehydration. Oxybutynin's half-life is only about 2 to 3 hours, so its full clearance would be 10 to 18 hours, but it may take a few days for the full effects to wear off, if he's been on it for months. However, he should have this checked out by his doctor to be sure of what's going on. Is there anything else I can help with...

I was prescribed oxybutynin 5 mg twice a day for incontinence. I had done bladder training, etc. all exacerbated by chronic pain from spinal stenosis. I had extremely dry mouth and throat and stomach pain, sometimes severe, which are "common" side effects. After two weeks my body was not adjusting. Stomach pains worse then had bright red bleeding in urine and on TP. Stopped taking Oxybutynin 2 days ago. Blood in urine mostly gone, urine still a little murky. Still have stomach pain when I eat (plain mild food, yogurt, applesauce). I want to know how long it takes for this med to get completely out of your body? (Have doctor's appointment in two weeks.) ## Hello, Bella! How are you? I'm sorry about the problems you've been having. Has there been any change, yet? Those...

What time is best to,take oxybutinin? I seem to be up at least 3 times a night...I take mine in the morning.

I was prescribed medication for pain and the prescription didnt seem to have the name my doctor told me previously so i looked it up on the internet and couldnt find a pain reliever that matched the markings on the pill: which were 4853 above the hetch mark and a cursive V below the hetch mark ## Hi Lorelle, The round blue pill in description marked V 4853 is Oxybutynin chloride (5 mg).

My pharmacy changed from dispensing me blue oxybutinin that has worked well for me for years, to white oxybutinin. The blue ones dissolved immediately in my Foley irrigation solution but not the white ones. I'm having a lot of leakage now from bladder spasms and it's only since I have been taking the white pills.

My 12 year old daughter has been taking oxybutynin (10mg one time per day) and Nitrofurantoin (50mg one time per day) for over a year now. All of this is trying to help her bladder relax so she can fully void - we are hoping this will solve the problem she was having for two years causing recurrent UTIs. We are at a point where we want her to stop taking the medications - we need to see how she does off all of the meds. But how do I safely/effectively wean her off of these meds? We are no longer under the care of a doctor because we couldn't afford the $400 office visit that we were going to be charged just to be told how to get her off the medications. So now I need to know....do I just have her stop taking both meds at once or do I first try to eliminate one from her system, follo...
