Oxyspas 5 mg Tablet

Oxyspas 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains oxybutynin 5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the antimuscarinic/anticholinergic class and is used to help relieve overactive bladder symptoms such as frequent urination, sudden urge to urinate, and urge-related leakage. Oxyspas 5 mg Tablet works by calming an overactive bladder muscle so the bladder can hold urine more comfortably. This pack contains 10 tablets from Cipla, India.

How it works: Oxybutynin in Oxyspas 5 mg Tablet blocks certain nerve signals that tell the bladder muscle to squeeze too often. By relaxing the bladder, the tablet can reduce urgency, frequency, and accidental leakage.

Oxyspas 5 mg Tablet is a standard oral strength that can be used when a doctor wants a flexible tablet dose for bladder symptoms. Because it is a 5 mg tablet, it may be prescribed as a starting or step-up dose depending on the person, and it is often easier to adjust than higher-dose products. A doctor chooses this strength based on age, symptom severity, and how well the person tolerates oxybutynin.
