Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
What are divided doses? Spasms can be due to a foreign body, e.g., a catheter balloon, in the bladder. You can take up to 30 mg per day of oxybutynin in divided doses to relieve the spasms.
Answered by Dr. Scott Baranoff
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Divided doses mean splitting the total daily amount of medication into smaller portions to be taken throughout the day.
For oxybutynin, if you’re taking a total of 30 mg per day, you would typically take 10 mg orally every eight hours. This helps maintain a consistent level of the medication in your system and can improve its effectiveness in relieving bladder spasms.
Thanks
