Here's how to use Tropan 5 Tablet properly:

Tropan 5 Tablet is taken orally.

Tropan 5 Tablet contains oxybutynin (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• An Antagonist of Acetylcholine: Oxybutynin acts against acetylcholine, a substance that transmits signals in our nervous system. It specifically targets those located on the detrusor muscle of the bladder – a muscle that contracts during urination.

• Relaxation of Bladder Muscles: By targeting these receptors, oxybutynin helps relax the bladder muscles. This reduces involuntary contractions and increases bladder capacity.

• Reduction in Urge Incontinence: As a result of this relaxation, there's a decrease in episodes of urge incontinence wherein there's a sudden, uncontrollable need to urinate.

• Spasmolytic Effects: Oxybutynin also has direct spasmolytic effects, meaning it helps alleviate spasms or sudden, involuntary muscle contractions in the bladder.

• Store Tropan 5 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 15°C to 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• The container should always be tightly closed.

• Remember to keep Tropan 5 Tablet out of the reach of children.

• Ensure you use this medicine before its expiry date.

• Since bladder conditions can be aggravated by dehydration, ensure you drink plenty of water daily. However, avoid consuming large quantities of liquids in a short span to prevent frequent urination.

• Limit your intake of caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee as they can stimulate the bladder and increase urinary urgency.
