Brief Answer:
Low calcium levels
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the information.
Long term use of Oxybutinin (>6months) can lead calcium deficiency.
Calcium is very essential for healthy contraction of the muscles. Low levels of accessible calcium leads to spasms, pain and weakness which could be generalized.
I recommend you to take Calcium supplements of about 500mg per day for a duration of one month. The general weakness will disappear within a week or so but to prevent recurrences a months dosage is necessary.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
