Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Ditropan XL is a medication used to treat symptoms of an overactive bladder, like needing to urinate often, feeling urgent urges to go, or having trouble with accidental leakage. It works by relaxing the bladder muscle, making it easier to control when you need to urinate. It comes as an extended-release tablet used for adults and children 6 years and older.

Take Ditropan XL by mouth once per day with a full glass of water. Most adults start with 5 to 10 milligrams each day, but a healthcare provider might adjust your dose based on how you respond and if you have any side effects. Try to take it at the same time every day, and do not crush, chew, or break the extended-release tablet—swallow it whole. Breaking it can interfere with how the medication is absorbed. Always follow a healthcare provider’s instructions and check the medicine label for any special directions.
Ditropan XL contains the active ingredient Oxybutynin.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
Common side effects of Ditropan XL include dry mouth, constipation, headache, drowsiness, and blurred vision. Some people also report dizziness, dry eyes, or trouble sleeping, especially at higher doses. In rare cases, Ditropan XL may cause fatigue, nausea, or changes in taste. Although most side effects are mild, dry mouth was the most frequent cause of stopping the medication during clinical trials.
More serious side effects have been reported, including hallucinations, confusion, memory problems, and rapid heartbeat. Rare allergic reactions, such as swelling of the face or trouble breathing, may require emergency care. Ditropan XL may also lead to difficulty urinating, urinary retention, or vision changes like glaucoma. If you notice any severe or unusual symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider right away.
