What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description
What is Ditropan XL used for?
Chemical Name: OXYBUTYNIN (ox-i-BYOO-ti-nin)Ditropan XL (Oxybutynin ER) (Lyrinel XL in the UK)
Ditropan XL is a long-acting form of oxybutynin. This means that it is an extended-release drug. Extended-release drugs release their contents gradually over a period to ensure that the drug levels remain fairly constant. Ditropan XL is used to treat overactive bladder and urinary conditions. It functions by relaxing the muscles in the bladder to help it hold urine longer, reducing problems of urgency and frequent urination. Ditropan XL can be given to children above six years old who suffer from incontinence issues, i.e., wetting due to urgent urination due to neurological disorders like Spina bifida, etc.
You can buy Ditropan XL from Canada Pharmacy for the best rates and have it delivered to your doorstep.
