How does oxybutynin help bladder problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Oxybutynin works by decreasing activity in the nerves that supply the bladder. If the bladder is overactive which can occur for a variety of reasons, the medication can allow more normal filling of the bladder and a decrease in muscle overactivity that causes frequent urination.
