Oxybutynin, 5mg Tablet (Top voted first)

Updated

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.

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 slowly over time, rather than all at once.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, urinary retention and blurry vision.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Yes! I just started on this med the last several weeks. I got my first refills from the local pharmacy but my last refill from ExpressScripts. It didn't seem to be working. Today I noticed the pill passed intact and it was not just a shell, it was the entire solid pill. I found this thread by searching to see if this has happened to anyone else. Thank you for starting this thread.

No, sorry; it is not just the shell. I have seen them more than once and it is the whole pill.

I have been on oxybutynin for many, many years, made by different drug companies, currently by Teva-Oxybutynin. After the last few refills, I have noticed dry mouth more and more, but my incontinence is getting worse. Does anyone know if the drug company has changed the make up on the drug?

I was prescribed versicare for bladder spasms. Is this a good drug and does it work. I had to stop oxybutnin because it caused me to itch. Any serious side effects from versicare.
