Oxybutynin gel belongs to a group of drugs known as antimuscarinic or anticholinergic medications. The drug works for
bladder problems by blocking specific receptors (called muscarinic receptors) in the bladder, helping to relax the muscles of the bladder. Because an
overactive bladder is often due to bladder muscle
contractions that are too frequent and uncontrollable,
oxybutynin gel can help relieve many symptoms of bladder problems.
