Have already deleted the post of the mom using Ditropan -oxybutynin - can't
recall for how long she would be using it for but sounded like more than for
1-2 doses??  As the drug is anticholinergic, would the drug possibly lower her
milk supply to some extent or has this one more specific actions than most of
this class?  USPDI states has minimal effects as antisialagogue but also
states that it may inhibit lactation.
