Oxybrupan-5 is an oral medication containing Oxybutynin Hydrochloride (5mg). It belongs to a group of medicines called anticholinergics or urinary antispasmodics. It is primarily used to manage symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB), such as:
- Urinary Urgency: A sudden, strong need to urinate.
- Urinary Frequency: Needing to urinate more often than usual.
- Urge Incontinence: Unintentional leaking of urine.
How Oxybrupan-5 Works
The active ingredient, Oxybutynin, works by relaxing the detrusor muscle in the bladder wall. This helps increase the amount of urine your bladder can hold and reduces the sudden contractions that cause the frequent urge to go.
Usage and Dosage
Oxybrupan-5 is a prescription-only medicine (PoM). The standard adult dosage is typically one 5mg tablet taken two to three times daily, though your healthcare provider may adjust this based on your response. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water.
Storage and Safety
Store the tablets in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children. If you experience side effects like dry mouth, blurred vision, or constipation, consult your pharmacist or doctor.
