The use of oxybutynin in urological practice.
A total of 216 patients with voiding disorders were treated with oxybutynin and the effects and side effects were studied. The drug is effective in a wide variety of disorders. Good results were obtained in 66% of patients who had no previous treatment and in 46% of patients who had taken various drugs before. It was just as effective in all age groups. Twenty-three per cent of patients experienced side effects and 10% were unable to tolerate the drug. It is concluded that oxybutynin is an effective drug in the treatment of unstable bladder and disorders such as catheter-induced spasms.
