Oxytrol is a transdermal system designed to manage symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) in adults. It delivers oxybutynin, an anticholinergic medication, through the skin for continuous, steady relief. This prescription-free option reduces urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence episodes with once-weekly application, offering a discreet and convenient alternative to oral medications.
Features
- Contains oxybutynin, an FDA-approved antimuscarinic agent
- Transdermal delivery system for consistent 24/7 medication release
- Each patch provides 3.9 mg of oxybutynin per day over 3-4 days
- Water-resistant and discreet for normal daily activities
- Available without a prescription for women 18 years and older (men require prescription)
Benefits
- Reduces sudden, frequent urges to urinate
- Decreases episodes of urge incontinence
- Minimizes nighttime urination (nocturia)
- Avoids first-pass metabolism, potentially reducing systemic side effects
- Simplifies dosing with once-every-4-day application
- Enables uninterrupted sleep and daily activities
Common use
Oxytrol is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency. It is commonly used by adults experiencing these disruptive bladder symptoms, particularly those seeking a non-oral administration route. The transdermal system is especially beneficial for patients who experience gastrointestinal side effects with oral anticholinergics or prefer less frequent dosing.
Dosage and direction
Apply one Oxytrol patch to clean, dry, intact skin on the abdomen, hips, or buttocks. Avoid areas where clothing might rub against the patch. Rotate application sites with each new patch—do not apply to the same skin site for at least one week. Replace with a new patch every 3 to 4 days (twice weekly). Only one patch should be worn at a time. Wash hands after application and removal. Do not cut the patch.
Precautions
- Use with caution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment
- May cause blurred vision or drowsiness—exercise caution when driving or operating machinery
- Avoid exposure to excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs, heating pads) over application site
- Monitor for signs of urinary retention in patients with bladder outlet obstruction
- Use cautiously in patients with gastrointestinal obstructive disorders
- Elderly patients may be more sensitive to anticholinergic effects
Contraindications
- Patients with urinary retention
- Gastric retention or other severe gastrointestinal reduction conditions
- Uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma
- Hypersensitivity to oxybutynin or any component of the transdermal system
- Patients with known myasthenia gravis
Possible side effects
Common side effects include application site reactions (redness, itching, or rash), dry mouth, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and drowsiness. Less frequently reported effects include blurred vision, dizziness, urinary tract infection, and difficulty emptying bladder. Serious but rare side effects may include severe allergic reactions, angioedema, central nervous system effects, and heat prostration.
Drug interaction
Oxytrol may interact with other anticholinergic drugs, potentially increasing side effects. Use caution with CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, itraconazole) which may increase oxybutynin levels. May enhance effects of other CNS depressants (alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids). Concurrent use with metoclopramide or other gastrointestinal motility agents may oppose therapeutic effects.
Missed dose
Apply the missed patch as soon as remembered. If it is almost time for the next patch, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not apply extra patches to make up for a missed dose.
Overdose
Symptoms may include severe anticholinergic effects: blurred vision, dilated pupils, hot dry skin, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, seizures, and respiratory depression. In case of suspected overdose, remove patch immediately and seek medical attention immediately. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
Storage
Store at room temperature (20-25°C or 68-77°F). Keep in original pouch until use. Do not store outside the sealed pouch. Keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Reviews
Clinical studies demonstrate Oxytrol significantly reduces weekly incontinence episodes compared to placebo. In randomized controlled trials, patients reported approximately 70% satisfaction with symptom control. Many users appreciate the convenience of transdermal administration and reduced systemic side effects compared to oral formulations. Some report mild application site reactions that typically resolve with proper site rotation.
