Daily pill for urge incontinence

Lyrinel XL is a tablet that helps you control your bladder. It treats urge incontinence and urinary urgency.
When you order Lyrinel XL online with us, we deliver expert healthcare straight to you.
Lyrinel XL can help you to improve your bladder control. It calms overactive bladder muscles, reducing how strongly and frequently you get the urge to go to the toilet.
Because of this, Lyrinel XL is a great option if you have urge incontinence. This is when you often get a sudden and overwhelming need to urinate. It can be hard to control, and it might disturb you from sleep or in public, but Lyrinel XL can ease these symptoms.
What also makes Lyrinel XL a bit unique compared to other tablets for urinary incontinence or urgency is that it’s a delayed-release medication. So you only have to take one tablet a day for more effective bladder control.
The active ingredient in Lyrinel XL is oxybutynin. Oxybutynin is a type of drug called an anticholinergic. It works on the acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter, blocking its muscarinic activity.
Since ACh makes the muscles in your bladder contract, blocking it calms them. This means your bladder won’t suddenly spasm, reducing your frequent urges to urinate. It also allows your bladder to hold more liquid.
The most common starting dose of Lyrinel XL is one 5mg tablet a day. After a week, your dose might be raised to 10mg a day if you’re still getting symptoms. The maximum daily dose is 20mg.
Lyrinel XL is an extended-release tablet. It has a coating that allows the medication to be absorbed slowly through your stomach. So you’ll only need to take a dose once a day for its effects to keep you protected.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
Follow your clinician’s advice on taking Lyrinel XL. If you have any questions, log into your account and send us a message.
You’ll start feeling some results from Lyrinel XL pretty quickly. It also builds up over time, so your symptoms should improve more the longer you take it. If you’re taking it for the first time, you’ll probably feel a noticeable difference in a few hours.
Because it’s an extended-release medication, its effects are delivered slowly and stably, so they don’t peak and plummet as sharply. This means that you should be pretty well-protected from incontinence all day and night.
If you miss your dose of Lyrinel XL, skip it and take your next dose at the usual time. Don’t double your dose to make up for a missed dose. Setting alarms or using a medication reminder app might help you keep up with taking your tablets.
Lyrinel can sometimes make people feel drowsy. If it affects your awareness, don’t drive or use heavy machinery. If you take too much Lyrinel XL, seek medical attention right away. Try to bring the packaging of the medication with you, so they can see what you’ve taken and how much.
