FAQs about Ditropan
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Ditropan, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is provided in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I take Ditropan while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The use of Ditropan during pregnancy should be discussed with your healthcare provider, as the effects on an unborn baby are not fully known. It is also advised to consult your prescriber if you are breastfeeding, as it is not clear if oxybutynin passes into breast milk. This information can be found in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label.
How should I store Ditropan?
Ditropan should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original container and out of reach of children. This storage information is detailed in the Storage section of the label.
