About CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET

CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called anti-spasmodic, and anti-cholinergic agents used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary incontinence (urine leakage), urgent or frequent urination, increased night-time urination, dysuria (painful or difficult urination). Additionally, CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET is used to treat night-time bed-wetting in children above 5 years when other treatments have not worked. 

CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET contains 'Oxybutynin', which works by blocking the release of a chemical transmitter called acetylcholine, responsible for bladder muscle contractions. Thereby relaxing the smooth muscles of the urinary bladder and stopping sudden muscle spasms (contractions). This helps control urine by delaying the initial desire to empty the bladder and increases the urine holding capacity of the bladder.

You are advised to take CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, headache, facial flushing, constipation, dry mouth, dry skin, urinary retention, and diarrhoea. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe only if the benefits outweigh the risks. CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET may cause dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, and blurred vision; so drive only if you are alert. CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET should not be given to children below 5 years as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET as it could lead to increased drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any unpleasant side-effects.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Overactive bladder (OAB): The contraction or tightening of bladder muscles causes bladder spasms. This is termed an overactive bladder. Continuous contractions may cause an urge to urinate. Overactive bladder is characterised by involuntary leakage of urine, excessive urination, and urgent need to urinate. The common causes of bladder spasms are urinary tract infections, drinking too much caffeine or alcohol, diabetes, constipation, impaired kidney function, bladder stones, enlarged prostate, or neurological disorders. Overactive bladder symptoms include urinating more than 8 times in a day and more than 2 times at night, strong and sudden need to urinate, leakage of urine, and loss of bladder control.

    FAQs

    How does CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET work?

    CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET works by blocking the release of a chemical transmitter called acetylcholine which is responsible for bladder muscle contractions. Thereby relaxing the smooth muscles of the urinary bladder and stopping sudden muscle spasms (contractions).

    How to cope with dry mouth?

    Dry mouth could be a side-effect of CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET. Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding smoking and mouthwashes containing alcohol, drinking water regularly, and chewing sugar-free gum/candy might help stimulate saliva and thereby prevents drying of the mouth.

    Is overactive bladder (OAB) same as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)?

    There is some overlap between the symptoms of both OAB and BPH. OAB occurs due to uncontrolled urinary bladder muscle contractions. The main symptom of OAB is a sudden urge to urinate that is hard to control. On the other hand, BPH occurs due to an enlarged prostate gland, which puts pressure on the urinary bladder, thereby causing pain during urination.

    Consult your doctor before taking CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET if you have glaucoma. CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET is contraindicated in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience loss of vision, blurred vision, or pain in the eye.

    Does CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET cause fungal infection of mouth?

    CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET may reduce the amount of saliva, thereby causing fungal infection of the mouth and tooth decay. To avoid this, maintain proper oral hygiene while taking CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET. A regular dental check-up is recommended if you are on long-term treatment with CYSTRAN 5MG TABLET.
