Oxybutynin Forums (Page 4)

I have really bad side effects taking Oxybutynin medications for overactive bladder and diurnal enuresis (since childhood). I have tried 3 types of oral (pill) medications of which all caused eye lid swelling, dry mouth skin rash etc. after using for 6 weeks. So I was prescribed trans dermal patches (at great reluctance from my doctor as they are not approved on the NHS list due to cost) and have been using it for several months. Now I have started experiencing blurred vision & 'halos' around lights with slight eye lid swelling and finding it hard to think clearly. I took the patch off! Are there any other medications or other treatments I could try? ## Sorry to hear about your experience with Oxybutynin. It sounds like the side effects are really taking their toll with each...

Anybody getting memory problems with oxybutynin? ## Hello, Peter! How are you doing? Yes, it is a reported side effect of this medication, along with nausea, depression, rhinitis and blurred vision.

small round blue pill. Blank and smooth on one wide with APO a score line over a 5 ## Hi Jeanny, Based on my research the round blue pill you have that's scored with "APO" over "5" on one side and blank on the other, is identified as Oxybutynin chloride (5mg). This medication is used to treat overactive bladder symptoms (such as incontinence or frequent urination). Apparently it works by decreasing the severity of muscle spasms in the bladder. These specific tablets also contains the following non-medicinal ingredients as well: FD&C Blue No. 1 Lactose monohydrate Magnesium stearate Microcrystalline cellulose You can learn more about this drug on the page for Oxybutynin Details I hope this helps!

I have a temporary stent due to problems from surgery, dr prescribed oxybutynin to help subside the constant urge to urinate. Took extended release pills for 4 days, started leaking bad on the 3rd day, dr took me off of them. It's been 4 days without leakage getting a little better. Is this a normal side effect? If so, how long before it goes away? Was tested today and I'm emptying my bladder.

Oxycontin 5mg. Verses oxybutynin5 mg.IS THIS THE SAME DRUG? ## Hi tammy, Based on my research, Oxybutynin is an anticholinergic medication used to relieve urinary and bladder difficulties, including frequent urination, and inability to control urination (urge incontinence)- by decreasing muscle spasms of the bladder. Oxycontin, also known as Oxycodone, is a strong narcotic analgesic used to relieve moderate to severe pain. With that being said, the answer to your question is no-Oxycontin and Oxybutynin are not the same. You can learn more about this drug on the page for OxyContin Details You can learn more about this drug on the page for Oxybutynin Details I hope this helps. Do you have anymore questions?

My Granddaughter believes this pill will help with entire body perspirations ## The pill in question is identified as Oxybutynin (5mg), from Canada. And judging from the indications of the drug, I get the sense that it's the wrong type of medication for "perspiration/sweating", unless this condition is linked to an 'overactive bladder or frequent urination': "Oxybutynin belongs to the family of medications called anticholinergics. It is also an antispasmodic. Oxybutynin is used to relieve symptoms associated with an overactive bladder, such as urinary urgency (a need to urinate right away), urinary frequency, leakage, or urge incontinence (leaking or wetting caused by an unstoppable urge to urinate). This medication works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder. I...

Started today at 1 pm taking 5 mg ER oxibutynin. I am seeing no improvement yet and it is 4:30 pm.

Oxybutynin is used to treat overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. Learn more Oxybutynin details here. Thus, I am not sure why you'd want to push fluids, if you're trying to remedy a frequent urination problem. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness and blurred vision. Post back with what you're trying to treat with this medication would be helpful, thanks!

i found a little blue pill with l853 & a line dividing the pill with a v under ## I haven't been able to find a listing that matches this, since I first saw your post 2 days ago. Can you describe the V in more detail? Is it stylized like a logo, or just a regular letter V?

small round light blue pill a 05 on one side and nothing on the back side ## Hi rocco, Is there any chance you may have meant to say "M O5" as opposed to "A O5"? Just asking because I located a round light green/bluish pill that fits the description above. It's identified as Oxybutynin chloride extended release (5 mg); which is an anticholinergic drug used to treat symptoms associated with an overactive bladder. Manufacturer: Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. National Drug Code (NDC): 00378-6605 Learn More: Oxybutynin Details Does any of this sound like it could be a possible match? ## I think I made a mistake when I posted this, it has nothing but a 05 on it and nothing on the back side. Thanks for the help, Rocco

the pill is round, white and has the imprint on one side - G (on top) & 343 on bottom. What is this? ## i would like to know aswell... ## I had a friend of mine give me one of these. He said his mother in law said they were oxycotin. I can't find them online. I'm not sure what it is and would like to know. ## It's oxybutynin sustained release 15mg. Not exactly oxycontin, but great for an over active bladder. ## I am a physician and must say that the pharmacist is incorrect as most usually are. A couple semesters of introduction to medications with THE PILL BOOK as your class textbook is all modern day pharmacists recieve as training. People keep being fooled into rating them as trustworthy when the reality is that I haven't seen one yet that could be trusted if you g...

blue round ## 4853 V is 5 mg Oxybutynin ## This is a generic for Ditropan to control overactive bladder. ## thank you. i have another pill mylan 457 white round. ## Ellen, Mylan 457 is 1 mg Lorazepam (generic for Ativan). It is used to treat anxiety and nervousness. ## Abe is correct with his ID, these types of pills are Benzodiazepines similar to Xanax or Valium. ## oxybutynin is marked M with an O5 underneath it and a lighter blue than oxycontin. i have a prescription for it, so butynin, so unless i've been given the wrong pill by the pharmacy for two years, you're wrong. ## if any of you would ever TRY the 4853 v, it is NOT oxycotin. it is for bladder control. If you are getting prescribed that for pain and get 60 of them then your lying. No one is that stupid.
