Oxybutynin Patch Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when the
oxybutynin patch is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor Medications
Using the
oxybutynin patch with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor can make both medications less effective. Your healthcare provider may need to monitor you more closely and adjust your dose of these medications to prevent interactions from occurring.
Anticholinergic Drugs
Combining an anticholinergic medication with the oxybutynin patch (which is also an anticholinergic medication) can increase your risk of oxybutynin patch side effects, such as dry mouth,
constipation, dry eyes, or difficulty passing urine.
Pramlintide
Both
pramlintide and anticholinergic medications (including the oxybutynin patch) can slow down the movement of food through the digestive tract. Taking them together can increase the risk of constipation or nausea. Talk with your healthcare provider before combining these medications.
