Ditropan Xl Information:

• What

What is Ditropan XL?

As an antispasmodic drug, Ditropan XL treats overactive bladder by relaxing the muscles of the bladder and urinary tract. This reduces the feeling of needing to frequently and urgently urinate. It may also help reduce night-time wetting accidents. 

• How

How do I take Ditropan XL?

Take Ditropan XL with a full glass of water once a day, unless your doctor has given you different instructions. Because this is an extended release drug, you will need to swallow it whole. Chewing it or breaking it open can cause the medicine to be released too quickly.

Warnings

Because Ditropan XL can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and blurred vision, you should avoid driving and performing other activities that require clear vision until you know you can do so safely. Ditropan XL can also make you sweat less, which puts you at a greater risk for heat stroke. Avoid becoming dehydrated or overexerting yourself in hot weather.
