How effective was oxybutynin with relieving stent side effects?

SO is 4 days post op and is having unfavorable side effects which I believe is due to this medication. (Blurred vision, anxiety, racing heart feeling but it’s not actually high). I believe he should stop it but obviously don’t want the side effects of the stent to get worse. Stent will still be in place another 5 days. He is no longer needing pain meds.

We have Flomax on hand but was not told to take that for stent, but online research shows that could help. Maybe switch?

Yes, flomax would be worth trying

I had the same problem with both oxybutynin and Flomax. My doctor wasn’t happy that I didn’t call and let him know. I’d the Flomax doesn’t help, call your doctor.

I’ve had a stent for 2 months and been on oxybutinin over that time. Once I got nervous about side effects and went off it, but the stent pain roared back. It was worth it to stay on the med for me.
