Safely Buy Oxytrol Patch ( Oxybutynin ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Oxytrol is a transdermal skin patch used to treat overactive bladder symptoms.

Oxybutynin is an antimuscarinic agent that impedes the detrusor muscle from contracting and promotes its relaxation to decrease symptoms of overactive bladder such as frequent or urgent urination and incontinence. The drug is applied as a transdermal patch and is absorbed through your skin where it binds to muscarinic receptors.

This patch medication is an effective form of treatment for the symptoms of overactive bladder that is generally well-tolerated. Thanks to Oxytrol’s transdermal formulation, the medication offers less adverse reactions while offering continuous support throughout the patch wear period.
