what is ditropan used for

Ditropan is a brand name for oxybutynin, a medication used to treat symptoms of an overactive bladder, such as loss of bladder control, frequent need to urinate, and urinary urgency. It works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder, which helps decrease problems of urgency and frequent urination. Ditropan is available in different forms, including tablets and syrup, and is usually taken by mouth with a glass of water as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to follow the dosage and length of treatment based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Oxybutynin is also used to treat bedwetting in children with certain nerve disorders.
