the release of water (urine).

Ditropan Tablets can be used to treat:
• Loss of control in passing water (urinary
incontinence)
• Increased need or urgency to pass water
(urine)

or older, when other treatments have not
worked

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency in the unstable bladder,
whether due to neurogenic bladder
disorders (detrusor hyperreflexia) in conditions such as multiple
sclerosis and spina bifida, or to idiopathic
detrusor instability (motor urge incontinence). It is also useful in
the control of vesical hyperactivity seen
after surgery of the bladder or prostate or accompanying cystitis.
PEADIATRIC POPULATION
Oxybutnin hydrochloride is indicated in children over 5 years of age
for:
-Urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency in unstable bladder
conditions due to idiopathic overactive bladder or
neurogenic bladder disorders (detrusor overactivity).
- Nocturnal enuresis associated with detrusor overactivity, in
conjunction with non-drug therapy, when other treatment
has failed.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:
_Adults_: The usual dose is 5mg two or three times a day. This may be
increased to a maximum of 5mg four
times a day to obtain a clinical response provided that the side
effects are tolerated.
_Elderly_: The elimination half-life is increased in the elderly;
therefore, a dose of 2.5mg twice a day,
particularly if the patient is frail, is likely to be adequate. This
dose may be titrated upwards to 5mg two
times a day to obtain a clinical response provided the side effects
are well tolerated.
_Children (under 5 years of age)_: Not recommended.
_Children (over 5 years of age)_: Neurogenic bladder instability: the
usual dose is 2.5mg twice a day. This
dose may be titrated upwards to 5mg two or three times a
