oxybutynin (Gelnique)

  • 10% gel transdermal

Interchange Oxytrol patch to Gelnique 1 packet daily, when patient needs first Oxytrol Patch replaced in hospital, or if patch is originally ordered in hospital, unless “no substitution” is written;  in the case of “no sub”, use Oxytrol for Women patch in place of Oxytrol.


Oxytrol for Women patch should be used for Oxytrol patch if no substitution is written, can be used on males as well as women, it is much lower cost.  These two patches are essentially the same product, the Oxytrol for Women patch is not intended to be used OTC (self-care) for men because of recommended additional screening for BPH in men.  There is no wording on the patch saying for women’s use only.
