Ditropan XL

Generic name: Oxybutynin chloride
Brand names: Ditropan XL, Ditropan

Why is Ditropan XL prescribed?

Ditropan XL and Ditropan XL XL, the extended-release form of the drug, treat symptoms of overactive bladder, including frequent urination, urgency (increased need to urinate), and urge incontinence (inability to control urination). The drug works by blocking the nerve impulses that prompt the bladder to contract. Ditropan XL is also used to treat the urgency, frequency, leakage, incontinence, and painful or difficult urination caused by a neurogenic bladder (altered bladder function due to a nervous system abnormality).

Ditropan XL XL can also be prescribed for children 6 years of age and older who are suffering from urinary urge incontinence due to a neurological condition such as spina bifida.

Most important fact about Ditropan XL

Ditropan XL can cause heat prostration (fever and heat stroke due to decreased sweating) in high temperatures. If you live in a hot climate or will be exposed to high temperatures, take appropriate precautions.

How should you take Ditropan XL?

Ditropan XL may be taken with or without food. Take it exactly as prescribed.

Ditropan XL can make your mouth dry. Sucking hard candies or melting bits of ice in your mouth can remedy the problem.

Ditropan XL tablets and syrup must be taken 2 or 3 times a day. Ditropan XL XL, a long-acting form of the drug, is available for once-a-day dosing. Ditropan XL XL tablets should be swallowed whole with plenty of fluid. Do not chew, crush, or break them.

--If you miss a dose...

Take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at once.

--Storage instructions...

Keep Ditropan XL in a tightly closed container and store it at room temperature. Protect the syrup from direct light. Protect the extended-release tablets from moisture and humidity.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Ditropan XL.

  • Side effects may include:
    Constipation, decreased production of tears, decreased sweating, difficulty falling or staying asleep, dilation of the pupil of the eye, dim vision, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, eye paralysis, hallucinations, impotence, inability to urinate, nausea, palpitations, rapid heartbeat, rash, restlessness, suppression of milk production, weakness

Why should Ditropan XL not be prescribed?

You should not take Ditropan XL if you have certain types of untreated glaucoma (excessive pressure in the eye), partial or complete blockage of the gastrointestinal tract, or paralytic ileus (obstructed bowel). Ditropan XL should also be avoided if you have severe colitis (inflamed colon), myasthenia gravis (abnormal muscle weakness), or urinary tract obstruction (inability to urinate). This drug is usually not prescribed for the elderly or debilitated.

Do not take Ditropan XL if you are sensitive or have ever had an allergic reaction to it. Make sure your doctor is aware of any allergic reactions you have experienced.

Special warnings about Ditropan XL

If you have an ileostomy or colostomy (an artificial opening to the bowel) and develop diarrhea while taking Ditropan XL, inform your doctor immediately.

Ditropan XL may cause drowsiness or blurred vision. Driving or operating dangerous machinery or participating in any hazardous activity that requires full mental alertness is not recommended until you know how Ditropan XL affects you.

Ditropan XL may aggravate the symptoms of overactive thyroid, heart disease or congestive heart failure, irregular or rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, or enlarged prostate.

After taking Ditropan XL XL, you may notice something like a tablet in your stool. This is not a cause for concern. The outer coating of the extended release tablet sometimes fails to dissolve along with the contents.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Ditropan XL

If Ditropan XL is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either may be increased, decreased or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Ditropan XL with alcohol or sedatives such as Halcion or Restoril because increased drowsiness may occur. You should also check with your doctor if you are taking any of the following:

Alendronate (Fosamax)

Antifungal medication such as itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), and miconazole (Monistat)

Drugs that ease spasms, including Bentyl, Levsin, Pro-Banthine, and Robinul
