Urobutin contains Oxybutynin, a medicine used to manage symptoms of overactive bladder. This condition causes frequent urination, sudden urgency, and involuntary urine leakage. By relaxing bladder muscles, Oxybutynin increases the bladder’s holding capacity and helps restore better control over urination. It is prescribed for adults and children above 5 years, based on medical advice.

• Tablets/syrup are usually taken 2–4 times daily.
