Presentation
It presents good results and improves QOL without the side effects of sympathectomy. Copyright © 2011 Annals of Vascular Surgery Inc. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The distribution of QOL before and after treatment is presented in table 3. Before treatment, all of the patients presented poor or very poor QOL. The median was 0.81 (± 0.10). After treatment, most of the patients presented improvements (73.6%). [scielo.br]
Cardiovascular
- Slow Pulse
☞ Instruct patient to promptly report adverse reactions, especially difficulty breathing or slow pulse. • Advise patient not to drink alcohol. • Tell patient not to be alarmed if controlled-release tablets appear in stools; drug has already been absorbed [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Eyes
- Esotropia
A 5-year-old girl with previously unrecognized hyperopia of approximately +3.00 D developed esotropia while being treated with oxybutynin for enuresis. The esotropia disappeared with cessation of oxybutynin and correction of her hyperopia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
- Decreased Sweating
The most commonly reported side effects when taking Apo-Oxybutynin tablets 5mg include: palpitations, tachycardia, vasodilation, chest pains, syncope (fainting), decreased sweating, rash, urticaria (hives), flushing, gonstipation, decreased gastrointestinal [inhousepharmacy.vu]

Limit alcoholic beverages .This drug may increase the risk for heatstroke because it causes decreased sweating. [medicinenet.com]
- Palmar Hyperhidrosis
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness and patient satisfaction with the use of oxybutynin at low doses for treating palmar hyperhidrosis in a large series of patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Palmar hyperhidrosis Patients whose major complaint is excessive sweating in the palmar region (i.e, sweating in the hands). [clinicaltrials.gov]
Urogenital
- Macroscopic Hematuria
Dry mouth was the most common adverse in patients with oral oxybutynin (72%) and transient macroscopic hematuria in patients with onabotulinumtoxinA (28%). Only one patient with oral oxybutynin dropped out the study because of adverse effects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Physical exam-ination reveals an area of hypopigmented skin measuring cm on her right footWhich of the following is the most likely diagnosis for this patient, and what further workup isindicated?. [retain24.com]
Treatment
Irritative urinary symptoms are a common side effect of treatment and frequently limit treatment tolerance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
No infectious etiology could be found. He was discharged in an improved state after a 48-hour observation period. The drug was discontinued. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology
Epidemiological variables, effectiveness (using the Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale) and tolerance to transdermal oxybutynin were compiled concerning two different groups (patients previously treated or untreated with oral oxybutynin), at baseline [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
No epidemiological studies of congenital anomalies among infants born to women who were treated with oxybutynin during pregnancy have been reported. [inchem.org]
Next, we included the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale score category at each visit in the model rather than a history of depressive symptoms. [doi.org]

Pathophysiology
This last point is important because the pathophysiological changes in the brains of patients with AD require several years to occur. 16 Finally, these studies did not take into account that certain anticholinergics are used to manage insomnia and depression [doi.org]
Prevention
Cyclosporin is an important immunosuppressive medication used to prevent organ rejection. Drug interactions that alter its blood levels can cause serious problems with toxicity or transplant rejection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The effect is to prevent spasms of the stomach, intestine or urinary bladder. muscle relaxant A drug used to produce muscle relaxation (excepting neuromuscular blocking agents). [ebi.ac.uk]
