Safely Buy Ditropan ( Oxybutynin ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Ditropan is a medication that contains the active ingredient oxybutynin, which belongs to a class of drugs known as antispasmodics.

Ditropan is used to treat symptoms of overactive bladders, such as frequent urination, urgency, and urge incontinence (leaking urine due to the bladder’s involuntary contractions).

Ditropan works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder, which reduces spasms and allows the bladder to hold more urine.
