Used primarily to treat symptoms of overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome, this compound helps reduce excessive muscle contractions in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. It works by blocking acetylcholine activity at muscarinic receptors, which decreases smooth muscle spasms and glandular secretions. Commonly prescribed for relieving cramping, pain, frequent urination, and urgency, it is often taken before procedures involving the urinary tract to minimize involuntary bladder contractions. Due to its anticholinergic effects, it may also be used off-label to reduce saliva production during certain medical treatments. Not recommended for long-term use in patients with glaucoma or severe gastrointestinal obstruction.
