Buy Gelnique Gel

Gelnique Gel (Oxybutynin Chloride) is used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, and incontinence. The active ingredient in Gelnique Gel is oxybutynin chloride. It belongs to the class of drugs known as antispasmodics and anticholinergics. Oxybutynin relaxes the bladder muscles, reduces involuntary contractions, and improves bladder control. It achieves this by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in muscle contractions. This action helps to decrease the urgency and frequency of urination and incidents of incontinence.
