Methods:We prospectively investigated 43 OAB patients treated with once-daily oxybutynin patches for dry mouth and constipation due to oral antimuscarinic drugs. Results:Oxybutynin patch treatment for 8 weeks significantly improved the visual analogue scale scores for dry mouth and constipation;total score and subscore (mean number of urgency episodes and daily micturitions) for OAB symptoms;and King’s Health Questionnaire scores for social limitations, emotions and sleep/energy (P=0.016 and 0.001;0.008, 0.041 and 0.015;and 0.007, 0.003 and 0.026, respectively). The 3-day frequency volume chart showed significant improvement in hours of undisturbed sleep(P=0.011). Eight patients had adverse reactions at the application site and withdrew from the study, while others only developed mild erythema and pruritus. Conclusions:Oxybutynin patch reduces adverse reactions caused by oral antimuscarinic drugs.}, pages = {9--15}, title = {Efficacy and Safety of Once-daily Oxybutynin Patch in Patients with Overactive Bladder Who had Experienced Adverse Reactions Caused by Oral Antimuscarinic Drugs}, volume = {44}, year = {2017} }
