Gelnique 10 (Oxybutynin Chloride) Uses & Side Effects:
Gelnique (Oxybutynin Chloride) Topical Gel
Oxybutynin belongs to the class of medications called anticholinergics. It can also be called an antispasmodic. Oxybutynin chloride is used to treat symptoms related to an overactive bladder, such as urinary urgency, the need to urinate right away, urinary frequency, the need to urinate more often than usual, leakage, or urge incontinence that is leaking or wetting caused by an unstoppable urge to urinate.
This drug works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder. Once the bladder relaxes, it can hold more urine and hence, there can be long periods of time between having to urinate.
